API-first or API-only backends are a sweet spot for today's Rust, IMO, and its resource footprint, reduced maintenance long-tail, and performance properties are all super competitive. It's especially hard to find another language that can compete with Rust on all three of those at once.
Never seen someone put my feeling so succinctly
You can advocate for using Rust at work.
If you're writing microservices, the Rust ecosystem sells itself at this point.
What Rust has over other languages that makes it better for writing microservices?
