Lambda Languages: Contrasting C# and Rust in the Cloud

In our workshop, participants will dive into AWS Lambda using C# and Rust, exploring their use in serverless functions. We'll compare the coding experience in both languages, highlighting their syntactic and practical differences. The session includes: Time-to-Code Comparison: Demonstrating Lambda function creation in C# and Rust, focusing on ease of coding and language-specific nuances. Deployment Process Analysis: Using AWS CDK and GitHub Actions, we'll navigate through the deployment steps for each language, showcasing the distinct features of setting up a CI/CD pipeline. Performance Evaluation: We'll analyze and compare the performance of Lambda functions in both languages, measuring metrics like cold start time, execution speed, and resource efficiency. This workshop offers a balanced view of these languages in a serverless context, providing attendees with the knowledge to choose the right tool for their needs.
