The OneSignal Podcast welcomes our CTO Joe Wilm, who joins to discuss the usage of RUST and how the company evaluates, tests and deploys new programming languages & technologies.

OneSignal announced nearly 3 years ago OnePush, the delivery system for notifications, which was written in Rust.  Original delivery system built in Ruby.  This decision was made to usher in the next wave of growth.  At that time OneSignal was handling 2 billion messages a week, today the solution has grown to 35 billion a week, a 16x growth. 

Joe through this OneSignal experience has become a known RUST community member and he discusses the advantages of this language.  In addition, he discusses how the company looks at new technologies, how they evaluate and test, and then deploy for new efficiency or functionality.
