3 points · Open discussionShow HN: Fleet – Experimental build tool for Rust that’s up to 5x faster
Fleet is an experimental fast, lightweight, open-source, build tool for Rust.
Builds with Fleet enabled are up-to 5x faster!
For a production repository (infinyon/fluvio) which we tested, we were able to cut down our incremental build times from 29 seconds down to 9 seconds, boosted by Fleet. We saw even better results on dimensionhq/volt, with our build times cut down from 3 minutes to just 1 minute - a 3x speed improvement!
How does fleet work?
Fleet works by optimizing your builds using existing tooling available in the Rust ecosystem, including seamlessly integrating sccache, lld, zld, ramdisks (for those using WSL or HDD's) et al.
You can get fleet at the official website.
Check out fleet over at https://github.com/dimensionhq/fleet and our website at https://fleet.rs
Looking forward to your feedback and thoughts!
