We teach teams like yours how to adopt and succeed with Rust. Our workshops catalog covers a wide range of topics and all our workshops are hands-on, as the best way to learn is by doing.
We teach Rust across a range of use-cases: API services, workers, data pipelines, native extensions, WASM, and more. We can walk alongside you on a journey from zero to hero, starting from the basics of the language all the way to advanced testing techniques and comprehensive telemetry instrumentation.
We're also happy to prepare custom workshops – get in touch with us to talk about what curriculum fits your team best!
This 4-days workshop helps you get started with Rust, assuming no prior knowledge of the language. The workshop starts from the absolute basics and gradually builds up to more advanced topics.

This 3-day workshop gives C/C++ developers a clear, practical path to migrating real C code to Rust, covering FFI boundaries, safe abstractions, and testing.

This half-day workshop will build up your Rust's testing toolkit. We will start from scratch, with your first unit test. By the end, you will have a comprehensive understanding of the available test types, the best practices in terms of test organization as well as their runtime implications.

Python has served you well: you spun up a prototype and iterated quickly, keeping up with the evolving requirements of a successful product. Nonetheless, as time goes on, cracks are starting to show up: an endpoint is slower than it needs to be, a data processing job that took seconds now takes almost an hour, and your infrastructure bill is growing too fast compared to the size of your user base. Engineers are starting to whisper: is it time for a rewrite? Should we pause feature development to rebuild everything on more solid foundations? That's an option, but it's expensive.
There's another path: rather than throwing away your entire Python codebase to start over, you analyse your application and isolate the performance-critical bits—the so-called "hot modules" where your application spends most of its time. You will rewrite those in Rust and package them as a Python native extension. This workshop will teach you how.
We will cover the pyo3 crate, the subtleties of Python's Global interpreter lock, and typical examples that may arise in your daily Rust-Python interoperability work. By the end of the session, you will be well-equipped to seamlessly replace your slow Python modules with easy-to-use and blazingly fast Rust modules.
We assume you are familiar with Rust and Python, but we don't assume any prior interoperability knowledge. We will provide a brief explanation and references whenever we rely on advanced features in either language.

#anchorBuild production-ready API services in Rust
This 3-day workshop is designed for developers who know the basics of Rust and want to learn more about backend development using Rust. Having written Rust in a production environment is not a requirement.

#anchorYou can't fix what you can't see: telemetry for Rust APIs
This 1-day workshop will introduce you to a comprehensive toolkit to detect, troubleshoot and resolve issues in your Rust APIs. The workshop is designed for developers who are operating Rust services in production-like environments, or are preparing to do so.

Rust is the future of embedded software. No matter if you’re developing robust embedded systems, creating low-power, secure IoT products, or taking your device to space, Rust revolutionizes embedded software engineering. In this workshop, you’ll learn to apply your embedded engineering skills to the modern, ergonomic, performant, and memory safe programming language that is Rust. You’ll get acquainted with Rust’s embedded ecosystem, widely used tooling, and work your way from the basics to writing complex, multitasking applications.
Furthermore, this workshops covers the current state of art when it comes to using Rust in safety-critical systems with real-time requirements.
At the end of this workshop, you will be able to build robust and secure (asynchronous) embedded applications in Rust, write platform-agnostic device drivers, and work with tools and frameworks that are widely used in Rust's embedded ecosystem. On top of that, you know what to consider when it comes to using Rust in safety-critical systems.
This workshop is targeted at experienced embedded developers that want to learn embedded development in Rust. Limited knowledge of Rust is assumed, but you are assumed to be proficient in low-level embedded software engineering in C or C++.
We will work with real hardware during this workshop.

Our methodology
All our workshops are hands-on. We believe that the best way to learn is by doing. Workshop attendees spend most of their time writing code, working through exercises with automated solution-checking. This structure allows our trainers to spend most of their time in 1:1 conversations with attendees, providing tailored feedback and guidance.
Our attendees say
The individual exercises build on each other very well. Direct practice makes it easier to understand the topics. I have rarely taken part in such a good practical workshop!
Remote attendee
I usually avoid workshops. The pace of more than 3 people is hard to sync: I always feel rushed in some bits, slowed down in others. You fixed that with your code-centric approach: I was able to fully use the time and the knowledge of the trainer!
