It's here: cordn-rs, the cordn MLS delivery coordinator you know, ported to Rust. Same protocol, same behavior, but dramatically faster and lighter. Available for amd64 and arm64 too.
The numbers say it all (measured head-to-head with the TypeScript original):
- 💤 ~35× less memory at idle — and still ~5× less under a full load.
- âš¡ Snappier responses, no spikes when it gets busy.
- 📦 One ~10 MB binary. Just drop it in.
The best part? It's a real drop-in. Your existing database opens and runs as-is. Swap the binary, keep your data, keep your clients.
Same version, same soul. cordn-rs moves in lockstep with cordn, same release, same number, no second versioning scheme to learn.
