WORKS FOR

Building async Rust services, Writing reliable asynchronous applications

KEY INSIGHT

It's the dominant but complex async runtime for Rust, where misuse can cause major performance issues without clear errors.

DOESN'T WORK FOR

When blocking on worker threads (tanks throughput), Using tokio::spawn with local variables (lifetime complaints)

FAILED

the missing of cancellation token in Tokio is so infuriating. I have to came all the way to attach it to a Future.

the tokio::spawn() (the Rust async sucks function) won’t have to be complaining endlessly about lifetimes whenever you use a local variable.

Rust async basically is tokio and it's almost impossible to use another runtime... In many ways Rust is the language that tokio ate.

FAILED

Blocking on Tokio worker threads can quietly tank throughput and explode p99 latency, all without panics or anything obvious in the logs.
