Benno van der Berg, Principal Software Engineer at Fiberplane,
sits down with Luca Palmieri.

They discuss Fiberplane’s 3-years long journey with Rust, building an interactive observability notebook.

They touch on Benno’s experience switching from .NET to Rust and share insights on using Rust for a commercial product,
including the reasons behind Fiberplane’s Rust adoption. They then dive into the challenges of maintaining Fiberplane’s
codebase and conclude with a few tips for developers looking for Rust jobs.
