Rust Dependency Upgrade Days: Planning, Tests, Compatibility, and Rollback

A practical two-hour session on Rust Dependency Upgrade Days, focused on Planning, Tests, Compatibility, and Rollback. 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 Dependency Upgrade Days
• Apply Planning in a small working example
• Apply Tests in a small working example
• Apply Compatibility 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.
