Server Core is a full rewrite of our Server SDKs with a shared, performance-focused Rust library at the core - and bindings to each other language you'd like to deploy it in. Today, we're launching Node Server Core (Node Core).
Node Core leverages the natural speed of a core written in Rust - but also benefits from all of our latest optimizations in a single place. Out initial benchmarking suggests that Node Server Core can evaluate 5-10x faster than our native Node SDK. Beyond that, Node Core supports new features like Contextual Multi-Armed Bandits, and advanced bootstrapping functionality, like bootstrapping Parameter Stores to your clients. Using Node core with our Forward Proxy has even more benefits, as changes can be streamed, leading to 1/10th of the CPU intensity.
Node Server Core is in open beta beginning today, see our docs to get started. In the coming months, we'll ship Server Core in Ruby, PHP, and more - if you're looking forward to a new language, let us know in Slack.
