Join us on Thursday, May 21 at Datadog Times Square. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. to give attendees plenty of time to grab pizza & socialize, & the talk begin at 7:15 p.m. Following the success of the UnConf we've absorbed all of your feedback & have two awesome speakers!
corwin. - Uber Tech Lead for Parallel File Systems at Google
Making High Performance Storage Boring
To users, storage is a utility; it should be boring. But it takes massive effort to get "boring utilities" to the point where they can be boring, & users can take it for granted that they will "just work." This talk traces the evolution of storage systems from 1970s supercomputers to modern, massively parallel designs, explaining how the need for checkpointing in high-performance computing led to the development of parallel file systems like Lustre in the late 1990s. corwin, uber tech lead for parallel file systems at Google, covers the challenges of bringing parallel file systems to cloud environments, & discusses how Google makes high performance storage appear simple, fast, & scalable.
This talk is one corwin presented at BugBash 2026, so we're super excited to have it at Rust NYC too!
Evan Schwartz - Founder at Scour
Ranking on the Fly: Optimizing an Indie Newsfeed
Evan Schwartz will talk about building & optimizing Scour (https://scour.ing/), a personalized content feed that finds interesting reads for you from 24k+ sources ranging from Hacker News' firehose to great personal blogs. Scour is written fully in Rust, which is particularly relevant because Scour does its search & ranking completely on the fly. Since Evan's last talk a little over a year ago, Scour has 10x-ed the number of sources it checks while keeping page loads to around 100ms.
Lawrence Harvey is Rust NYC's official recruitment partner, with Ross providing support as a co-organizer & financial support.
The space is generously sponsored by our partner Datadog.
