Optimising a Rust server

When the number of players starts to grow, a Rust server puts a heavy load on the processor, the disk and the RAM.

What has the biggest impact

• the size of the map
• the number of active plugins
• how often restarts and clean-ups run
• the quality of the CPU cores

Practical tips

Use NVMe storage, do not overload the server with unnecessary plugins and watch resource usage at peak hours. If you have lag, first check for a CPU bottleneck and the save operations.

For larger Rust community projects it is good to plan an upgrade in time.
