At Clever Cloud, we are working on Sōzu, an HTTP reverse proxy that can change its configuration at runtime, without restarting the process. Why would we need that, you might ask?

A few weeks ago, we set out to develop an AMQP client library in Rust, and I'm happy to release it now! We will integrate it in more and more of our tools in the future.

If you ever talked to me, or looked at my Twitter feed, you may have noticed that I campaign loudly for the Rust programming language. I am not going to stop. In fact, it will only go crescendo!

At Clever Cloud, we love giving new technologies a try. Since its inception, rust has always been quite appealing and we always wanted to find projects for which rust would be an adequate solution.

Now that rust is mature enough (to our taste), we started giving it a go, and we needed a way to easily package rust software for our distribution of choice: Exherbo.
