Take a Rust crate from a "works on my machine" laptop build to a production-grade artifact that ships through a gate no one can bypass. The course walks through a real 3-crate ETL workspace — etl-core, etl-cli, and etl-bench — built around clap derive macros, a tuned `[profile.release]`, and a multi-stage Dockerfile that drops a 1.8 GB rust:latest image to a 6 MB scratch+musl container with no shell to attack. You then wire pmat, bashrs, forjar, and pv onto the standard fmt + clippy + test + 100% coverage + audit + deny stack — because a green build badge is misleading when an agent wrote half the code. A five-job GitHub Actions matrix runs stable, beta, and Minimum Supported Rust Version on Linux, macOS, and Windows in parallel, with cached cold builds reduced to two-minute incremental ones. You close with criterion — warmup, statistical sampling, the HTML report — and a regression gate that fails the build on a measurable throughput drop. Every concept is tied to runnable code and Provable contracts in the case-study repo.
Open with a guided tour of the shipping-rust workspace on GitHub, then build a Rust binary CLI from cargo new --bin to a 6 MB stripped self-documented executable, then ship it inside a scratch+musl Docker image with no attack surface beyond the binary itself.

Module 2•2 hours to complete
Module details
Add a Git pre-commit hook that runs cargo fmt, clippy, and test before any commit. Configure GitHub Actions to enforce the same gates on every push and pull request. Benchmark the binary with criterion and prove a release-build speedup with statistical confidence intervals.

When will I have access to the lectures and assignments?
To access the course materials, assignments and to earn a Certificate, you will need to purchase the Certificate experience when you enroll in a course. You can try a Free Trial instead, or apply for Financial Aid. The course may offer 'Full Course, No Certificate' instead. This option lets you see all course materials, submit required assessments, and get a final grade. This also means that you will not be able to purchase a Certificate experience.
What will I get if I subscribe to this Specialization?
When you enroll in the course, you get access to all of the courses in the Specialization, and you earn a certificate when you complete the work. Your electronic Certificate will be added to your Accomplishments page - from there, you can print your Certificate or add it to your LinkedIn profile.
Is financial aid available?
Yes. In select learning programs, you can apply for financial aid or a scholarship if you can’t afford the enrollment fee. If fin aid or scholarship is available for your learning program selection, you’ll find a link to apply on the description page.
