Create Rust binary for Netlify

Support
1

I have a program written in Rust that takes some input files (which are what are in the repo), and spits out HTML. Currently I have it running from source, but that takes a minute+ per deployment. I’d like to be able to create a binary using cargo build --release that will work on Netlify, but I’m not sure how. The binary that my machine builds doesn’t work (obviously). Is there a way to make a binary that will work properly on netlify?

Hi @meskin

As per Announcing Rust support on Netlify and associated documentation Rust and Cargo are preinstalled in Netlify’s default build image.

I’m aware of this - my question was how I could get a built rust binary to run on Netlify to cut down on build time.

Have a read of this this post for using your own binaries (backed up by this post. Further information on building said binary is in this post.
