AWS has elevated Rust support in Lambda from experimental to generally available, empowering developers to create high-performance, memory-safe serverless applications.

Sustainable APIs benefit most from minimalism, Jochen Joswig said at OOP Conference . Deployment should consider energy, usage, carbon intensity, hardware acquisition. Remote work, long device lifespans, and green office practices can lower emissions. Efficient CI, selective builds, smaller artefacts, and optimized assets can further reduce energy use.
