Background
The AW team is making steps toward a Rust re-write of its backend services. This PRD establishes milestones to move the team incrementally toward that goal.

Approach

Acceptance Criteria/Success Metrics

• Every engineer on the team has demonstrably touched Rust code
• We have developed PoCs for the service layer (i.e., HTTP request handling) and Avro serialization, incorporating all libraries we might need to use in the function evaluator
• We have provided Security with a detailed list of Rust libraries (with correct versioning information)

Success metrics:

• We have been cleared by the security team, following the review.
• We are ready to begin Rust implementation in Q4
