Hard to say. I've seen posts by jamwt (I assume someone that's working on the said Rust project) which are more confusing than enlightening.

In one they say that Dropbox is investing multiple millions in a key piece of infrastructure written in Rust. One month later they say that the project is written in go with some Rust and it will "stay that way".

There was also a HN thread, maybe that contains more clues.

The fact that it was Go+Rust has never changed. Dropbox had a huge piece of infra being written in Go, they rewrote a core part of it in Rust and got massive savings from that. I presume a lot of that infra isn't bottlenecked by perf, so it doesn't make sense to rewrite it.

Their overall infrastructure is in Go and they're fine with that, they've (re)written specific components in Rust for memory savings (and CPU though less so), they have ~60kLOC of rust in production according to jamwt comments on reddit.
