Performance Highlights

  • Batch Database Operations: Instead of logging each view directly, operations are deferred to separate threads, batching multiple hits into single database commits
  • Async Processing: Non-blocking I/O operations for maximum throughput
  • Memory Safe: Rust’s ownership model prevents common security vulnerabilities
  • Minimal Dependencies: Lean dependency tree for faster builds and smaller footprint
