How Switching from Go to Rust Slashed Latency from 15 ms to 80 µs
In high‑frequency trading and real‑time systems, Go’s garbage‑collector pauses and channel lock contention can inflate P99 latency to dozens of milliseconds, while a disciplined Rust rewrite eliminates GC, reduces lock overhead, and achieves sub‑100‑microsecond latency with far lower CPU usage.
