Neon (open-source alternative to Aurora) is 73.6% Rust. Databend (open-source Snowflake alternative) is even more Rust-heavy at 97.2%.

Interesting trend - modern serverless databases choosing Rust for its memory safety, performance predictability. Makes sense for systems where reliability and efficiency are non-negotiable.

Yes, Databend's metadata service (https://github.com/databendlabs/databend/tree/main/src/meta) also uses a Raft implementation written in Rust: https://github.com/databendlabs/openraft.

We've been running OpenRaft in production for several years now and have found it to be quite stable. It's designed as a generic, feature-complete Raft library that handles the complexities of distributed consensus well. If you're looking for a mature Rust Raft implementation, it's definitely worth considering.
