Fifteen of them idle. One of them running pandas.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery data engineer knows this wall. The file will not fit in memory, so you split it by hand. The job takes six hours and needs to take one. You provision a larger instance to solve what is really a memory-layout problem, and the bill arrives at the end of the month as a reminder that you did not actually fix anything.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is not a slow-function problem. It is a structural one. And no amount of Python tuning gets you past it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRUST FOR DATA ENGINEERING i\u003c\/b\u003es for data engineers who have hit that wall and want the tools that go through it, not around it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNOT A GENERAL RUST BOOK\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book does not teach web servers, game engines, or embedded systems. It teaches the parts of Rust that matter when datasets become larger than memory: streaming, columnar storage, zero-copy processing, and using every CPU core you paid for.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo systems programming background is required. Every concept-from memory layout to data races-is introduced exactly when needed, using language a Python data engineer already understands.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWHAT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO DO\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHOW THE BOOK IS BUILT\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePART 1 (Ch. 1-4) Why these performance walls exist, plus the Rust fundamentals that matter for data engineering.\u003cbr\u003ePART 2 (Ch. 5-9) Streaming massive files, CSV, JSON, Parquet, and Apache Arrow.\u003cbr\u003ePART 3 (Ch. 10-12) Filtering, aggregation, joins, Polars, and resilient pipeline design.\u003cbr\u003ePART 4 (Ch. 13-15) Rayon, true parallelism, streaming with backpressure, and a complete production-style capstone project.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e15 chapters. 228 pages. 32 figures.
