Rust Build Profiles: Debugging, Performance, Binary Size, and Release Choices

A practical two-hour session on Rust Build Profiles, focused on Debugging, Performance, Binary Size, and Release Choices. Rust is used as the implementation context while the core lesson stays on software engineering fundamentals, reliability, testing, and operational clarity.

Audience: entry-level and intermediate developers who want a practical engineering session, not a language tour.

Outcomes:

• Explain the practical boundaries of Rust Build Profiles
• Apply Debugging in a small working example
• Apply Performance in a small working example
• Apply Binary Size in a small working example

Format: two hours with a short framing walkthrough, a concrete example, discussion of tradeoffs, and a closing checklist for practice.
