Rust AI Meetup 7/27/26
A grand review of the Rust AI and Data ecosystem!
For our inaugural meetup at AWS Builders Loft, we are highlighting some of the signature Rust AI startups and enterprises.
The agenda is as follows.
I will open, review the arc of the community meetups By the Bay, the longest running, deepest technical live meetups in the world on Data, AI, Distributed Systems, and Thoughtful Software Engineering, and introduce our coorganizers, Scott and Manvika.
The talks then will follow in quick succession:
LakeSail
Modern Lakehouse, compatible with Spark, AI-ready, without JVM.
LaserData
Modern streaming, without JVM either.
CocoIndex
Context change management for agents.
Valkey

QueryGraph
Reinventing semantic layer with type-level security.
Databricks

Columnar

Time permitting, we’ll add
