New blog post dropped: why Traefik was the slowest part of our stack & how we rewrote it from scratch in Rust 🦀
My 2025 H2 goal is to get really good at technical writing – this is the first of many posts to come
I loved writing every word of this, I hope you enjoy it too ⬇️

We are achieving 2,000x faster route propagation by rewriting Traefik in Rust.
Built for our open-source serverless platform:
- Lazy route resolution
- Request buffering for cold starts
- Infinite scaling
- Single stateless Rust binary

If you're curious about Durable Objects but not the complexity:
ActorCore.org has been my obsession for the past month to make DO as simple as possible

🤌 i talked to sooo many devs to refine ActorCore v0.7's new api. the same code in Durable Objects is now 4x longer
✅ pure functions, no more `extends Actor`
✅ split actors x-file
✅ short & fun to write
try this thing and tell me it's not the best way to write realtime apps
