This highlights a great architectural pattern. Using Go for the orchestration control plane where development velocity matters, but swapping the high-frequency data plane over to Rust is the sweet spot for cloud infrastructure. The drop in memory footprint without garbage collection pauses perfectly illustrates why the data plane substrate is moving toward compile-time memory management.
