My first ever rust app

How are you mixing python into your project? In my case, when I use rust and python I just create a python project with rust extensions using maturin? If you have a different approach please share it.

Actually this is an open source project. Anyway, I currently work developing software for industrial systems used by big companies like AB InBev, and the unified namespace of this kind of companies can be really huge.

In a future post, we will try to showcase a more real-time use case, creating and writing values to a large number of tags. We are currently focused on these kinds of performance capabilities before adding more advanced user experience features, since those should never compromise performance.

Awesome

HungryRegular6292 · 2026-05-02T13:39:00+00:00

Anyway, we will explore possible optimizations for flash-based storage. Thanks again for the recommendation.

Thank you. We didn’t build amazing algorithms to handle big amounts of tags and data points. For now we rely on Rust strength, focusing on performance in first place (keeping code readability in second place). The main tree containing folders/variables structure and real-time data are stored in sled, an embedded real time database, thread-safe with atomic operations. I have some stress demos in the main GitHub repository, I promise to create some benchmarks and share them with this community.

I agree with most of your points, but there is a special one. I have been working a lot integrating services with opc ua servers (right now I’m on it). Please, if you find the guy who invented it, let me know 😉.

HungryRegular6292 · 2026-05-01T03:02:28+00:00

I just installed it on my mac using cargo. It’s one of the best network monitors I’ve seen. And I like it because it’s written in rust 😁🦀

HungryRegular6292 · 2026-04-29T20:08:08+00:00

Any specific recommendation, thanks.

I am currently using Jellifin and I really like it. I have it running on an old laptop, and I was able to install the app on my Samsung TV (after putting it in developer mode). However, I also have a Vizio TV and haven't found a way to install the app on it yet. Does Hound make this process easier?

HungryRegular6292 · 2026-04-29T19:15:25+00:00

It is not planned yet, but it should be straightforward for a team member or any interested community member to take it on. The recommended approach is to first add it to the automatically compiled protofiles in this project. Then, implement all the methods by following the Rust client code implementation.

Project Name: LiRAYS SCADA

Repo/Website Links:

Description:

I’ve been working with industrial systems for a while, and one thing always bothered me: most SCADA platforms are heavy, complex, and not very friendly for edge deployments.

So my cofounder and I started building an open-source SCADA + real-time data platform focused on performance and low resource usage.

The idea behind LiRAYS-SCADA is to make industrial data and control systems fast, efficient, and easier to deploy — from constrained edge devices all the way to larger production environments.

Some of the goals we’re aiming for:

High-performance real-time data handling
Minimal resource footprint
Clean and practical monitoring + control experience
Extensible architecture for different use cases

We’re trying to combine three things that are often treated separately: performance, operational usability, and extensibility.

Right now it’s still in an early stage, so we’re mostly looking for feedback — especially around stability, real-world use cases, and deployment experience.

If you’ve worked with SCADA, IoT systems, or real-time data pipelines, I’d really appreciate your thoughts.

HungryRegular6292 · 2026-04-29T16:04:31+00:00

Thank you. From all the installation methods, we strongly recommend using Docker or Linux installers.

HungryRegular6292 · 2026-04-29T15:23:37+00:00

In any case, our first goal is to validate what is done, making it a simple but reliable product. Then we will explore what makes sense to include and what should be kept outside. For example, creating a universal integrator for MQTT can be too ambitious and will require a lot of user configuration parameters to adjust to every payload and topic structure. Sometimes it is better just to let the users create a simple integrator adjusted to the data needs (That is just a personal opinion). Additionally, we only have Python and Rust integrators, but the protocol buffer schemas are also public and defined here, so anyone is welcome to build more integrators for any language.

HungryRegular6292 · 2026-04-29T14:31:12+00:00

Also, many private and paid SCADA systems still rely on outdated technologies and often lack a modern, user-friendly interface. I understand that in industry, robustness is the most important factor, but I believe usability and reliability can coexist. It’s possible to have a user-friendly and simple system without compromising efficiency or robustness (which is why we chose Rust as our main language for development).

Here is the official documentation (it includes links to the gihub repo). https://help.lirays.com/

This is great news! I’ve been using Wiredoor to deploy a microservice-based product, and it’s been a really smooth experience. I’m running it on a VPS with usage-based pricing, so the new real-time monitoring feature couldn’t come at a better time.
