In an era dominated by "Rewrite it in Rust" trends, we look past language-level benchmarks to explore the real bottlenecks in distributed systems. This discussion avoids taking sides, offering instead a dispassionate engineering analysis of modern backend architectural evolution.
----
The Performance Illusion: Why rewriting a microservice from Python to Rust often fails to deliver system-wide latency improvements (Amdahl's Law in distributed contexts).
Architectural Regression: A technical breakdown of the Amazon Prime Video case study—moving from Serverless to Monolith—and why the I/O model matters more than the runtime.
The Philosophy of Sharding: Contrasting "Functional Decomposition" (Traditional Microservices) with "Entity Slicing" (Cell-Based Architecture), and why platforms like Slack and Discord choose the latter.
The Rise of the High-Performance Monolith: The true strategic value of Rust and Go—not just for CPU efficiency, but for enabling software-defined vertical scaling to defer distributed complexity.
Defining Boundaries: Why Microservices remain the optimal choice for E-commerce, while SaaS applications may benefit more from Cell-based architectures.
Target Audience: Backend Engineers, System Architects, CTOs, and technical leaders interested in large-scale system design.
