I'm wondering if anyone is using Rust to interact with GCP services in production. I'm particularly interested in using GCP pubsub, cloud datastore, and BigQuery. I'm aware of google-apis-rs, but I'm concerned about the quality of the integration since most of the code is generated.
I've just deployed an app that uses google-apis-rs to integrate with the google sheets API.
I didn't have any real problems beyond a few little annoying ergonomic issues. They were:
- The online API docs haven't generated properly which meant I figured out how it worked by reading the generated code.
- The API has deep objects with tonnes of optionals which is a bit painful. This may just be the nature of the API, rather than some issue with google-apis-rs.
- The latest version of hyper it works with is 0.10, and I imagine upgrading to 0.11 would be a big effort.
It's not been running for very long, and it is very low volume. I can update once it's been running for a few weeks if all is going well.
My requirement is a little different. I am considering using rust for a service in our microservice architecture and the GCP APIs that I would be using will be critical for messaging and persistence.

How is the things going on with Rust and GCP using google-apis-rs?
I also need to build a microservice on GCP using rust. Was you able to build a microservice on GCP using rust?
