Introducing Glommio, a thread-per-core crate for Rust and Linux | Datadog

What this post added

This post introduces Glommio, a new Rust crate developed by Datadog to facilitate the adoption of the thread-per-core programming model. It explains the benefits of thread-per-core, such as improved tail latencies and elimination of locks, by contrasting it with traditional threaded and asynchronous programming. The post details how Glommio enables Rust developers to write thread-per-core applications, addressing the complexity and arcane challenges associated with this architecture, and positions it as a solution for high-throughput datastores.
