Capabilities of Rust Developers

Whether you need secure system programming solutions, blockchain applications, or smoothly performing web apps, Toptal Rust developers leverage their expertise in Rust’s rich features and precise control to create low-level systems that are memory-safe, concurrent, and highly efficient.

Security and Safe Development

Memory safety and security are paramount in software development, especially when dealing with sensitive data and operations. Toptal Rust developers specialize in crafting robust low-level applications that prioritize security and reliability, and leveraging Rust’s memory safety features to build a secure and dependable foundation for any project.

Concurrency and Parallelism

Concurrency and parallelism are core Rust features that boost an application’s efficiency by running multiple tasks at once. Our developers expertly harness these strengths to build multithreaded and highly performant applications, ideal for complex systems such as financial platforms, distributed computing, and game engines.

Performance Optimization

Performance is what sets apart a good application from a great one. To optimize your application for speed and memory efficiency, our Rust developers leverage techniques such as minimizing memory allocations, refining algorithms, and working with Rust’s low-level control over hardware resources.

Custom Rust Application Development

Tailored Rust application development requires expertise and attention to detail. Toptal developers use their extensive knowledge of Rust’s system-level control to implement sophisticated low-level software, utilizing tools like concurrency models and async/await to deliver reliable, high-performance applications.

Blockchain Development and Cryptography

Rust’s unique features make it a sought-after programming language for blockchain development. Our developers are proficient at designing, building, and deploying blockchain and cryptographic systems, leveraging Rust’s memory safety and its strong type system to eliminate vulnerabilities and ensure robust system integrity.

Systems Programming

Thanks to its low-level safety and control, Rust is ideally suited for system programming, which includes the development of operating systems, networking protocols, and device drivers. Our developers harness Rust’s zero-cost abstraction, fine-grained control features, and tools like Clippy and Cargo to implement efficient and resilient computing systems.

Embedded Systems and IoT

Rust’s low-level control and versatile security features make it a strong choice for IoT and embedded systems. Toptal developers skillfully manage system resources through Rust’s precise control features, enabling them to build complex embedded systems and resource-constrained IoT services effectively.

Integration With C and C++ Codebases

The interoperability between C/C++ and Rust benefits companies looking to revamp legacy systems without a complete rebuild. Our developers excel at integrating Rust with C and C++ codebases through Rust’s Foreign Function Interface (FFI), enhancing legacy code while utilizing the language’s modern features.

Asynchronous Programming

Due to its characteristic concurrency and memory safety features, Rust is exceptionally suited for asynchronous programming. Toptal developers make expert use of the Rust ecosystem, crafting applications with the help of libraries and frameworks, such as Tokio and async-std, which are specifically designed for async programming.

WebAssembly Development

Rust is capable of compiling to WebAssembly, a binary instruction format that provides near-native performance for computation-heavy tasks such as games and simulations. Toptal Rust developers use tools such as wasm-pack and wasm-bindgen to build secure and efficient web and browser-based apps that run across platforms seamlessly.
