Android
Google writes new low-level Android code in Rust; memory-safety bugs fell below 20% of vulnerabilities in 2025.
We build high-performance services, tools and embedded software in Rust, and add Rust modules to existing apps where speed and reliability matter most.

✓ Finished release build — memory safe
Comparing Rust with C++ across Android code changes. These are Google's own figures from November 2025.
fewer memory-safety bugs per line than C/C++

Source: Google Security Blog, “Rust in Android: move fast and fix things”, November 2025. About 4% of that Rust code uses unsafe blocks.
Rust checks memory rules while compiling, so the safety costs nothing at run time. Step through it.
Most languages trade raw speed for safety, or the other way round. Rust gives you both. Positions are our illustrative summary, not benchmark scores.
Some of the most demanding software in the world now relies on Rust.

Rust is supported for writing kernel drivers alongside C.
Microsoft is rewriting core Windows components in Rust.
Firecracker, which runs Lambda and Fargate micro-VMs, is written in Rust.
Pingora, the proxy serving a large share of Cloudflare traffic, is built in Rust.
uv, Ruff, Deno and many fast new tools are written in Rust.
Features ride from nightly to beta to stable. Upgrades are small and regular, and editions keep old code compiling.
You do not need a rewrite. We move the hotspots into Rust one at a time and prove the gain.
Find the slow or risky part of your Python, Node.js or Java app.
Wrap it behind a clear interface and add tests.
Build that one module in Rust with PyO3, napi-rs or a small service.
Compare speed, memory and cost before rolling out.
Move the next hotspot only if it pays off.
Where speed, safety and low running costs matter.
We work across stacks and recommend what fits your product and team.
| Technology | Strengths | When we choose it |
|---|---|---|
| Rust | C-level speed with memory safety, no garbage collector | Performance-critical, security-critical and embedded code |
| Go | Simple, fast to learn, great concurrency | Cloud services where simplicity beats peak speed |
| C# / .NET | Productive, fast managed runtime | Enterprise apps on Microsoft stack |
| Java | Mature JVM ecosystem | Large enterprise platforms |
| Python | Fastest to write, best AI libraries | AI, data and quick APIs (with Rust for hot paths) |
| Node.js | JavaScript everywhere, real-time I/O | APIs and real-time apps |
Straight answers to what clients ask us most.
Rust gives you the speed of C and C++ with memory safety checked at compile time. Whole classes of bugs, such as use-after-free and data races, simply do not compile. That means fewer crashes, fewer security holes and lower cloud bills thanks to low CPU and memory use.
Yes. Google uses it across Android, Microsoft in Windows, AWS for Firecracker (behind Lambda), and Cloudflare for its Pingora proxy. Rust is also supported in the Linux kernel. Google reported that Android's memory-safety vulnerabilities fell below 20% of the total in 2025 as Rust use grew.
Rust ships a new stable release every six weeks. Rust 1.99 was released on 1 October 2026. The Rust 2024 edition is the current edition, and editions keep old code compiling while the language improves.
It has a steeper start because of ownership and borrowing, but the compiler explains mistakes clearly. Our developers are experienced in Rust, so your project does not pay for the learning curve.
No. The best approach is usually incremental: move only the slow or risky parts into Rust and call them from Python (PyO3), Node.js (napi-rs) or over an API.
Go is simpler and great for most cloud services. Rust wins when you need maximum performance, predictable latency, very low memory use or strong safety guarantees. We use both.
Yes. Rust compiles to WebAssembly, which is ideal for heavy work in web apps such as image editing, maps, CAD and data processing.
It depends on scope. We give a fixed price per milestone after discovery, or provide dedicated Rust developers monthly.
