Tales of a transformation journey at Proton
by Jeremy Lempereur
About five years ago, Proton took a direction that eventually led us to use Rust across the org. This presentation is an opportunity for us to reflect and share:
- Incentives that led us to make this bet
- How we approached the transformation
- Strategic and tactical things that worked (and didn’t!)
- The path ahead

I have been enjoying rust for about a decade, and working with it since 2018. I had opportunities to dabble in embedded systems a little bit, before committing to high traffic web servers and all sorts of clients. After a three years rewrite of a GraphQL federation router at Apollo, I decided to contribute to Proton’s mission to foster digital freedom and privacy online.
