The Chinese government subsidizes Bambu Labs, so it's pretty easy to understand why this is such a big deal for them. It's not like the CCP wants to democratize manufacturing. They want the data.
I'm intrigued! I was fighting deadlocks in some Java code this week, and I'm working on a Rust project to maybe replace some of that.
One thing I didn't see in the post or the repo: does this work with async code?
I couldn't find the "search" button on Codeberg, and tests/integration.rs didn't have any async.
For embedded, I have had my eye on https://github.com/embassy-rs/embassy (which has an async runtime for embedded) and would love a nice locking crate to go with it.
They publicly publish these requests. You can see how little information is provided — just a phone number and two unix timestamps IIRC.

That seems unfair. There's a lot we don't know about the politics behind the scenes. I'd bet that the individuals who created the microservice architecture aren't the same people who re-consolidated them into one service. If true, the authors of the article are being generous to the original creators of the microservices, which I think reflects well on them for not badmouthing their predecessors.
Do people think of CF as a leader in terms of solutions that are "open, collaborative, standardized, and shared across many organizations"? My impression is that their open source work is mostly Cloudflare-specific client libraries and the occasional passion project from their engineers. Quiche may be a counter example, but it's a rare exception.
Examples:
Pingora claims to be battle-tested, but I have a hard time believing that it's to the same level of quality as whatever Cloudflare runs internally. https://github.com/cloudflare/pingora/issues/601
Small parts of Oxy were open sourced as "foundations" but the repo gives off the impression of a checkbox for someone rather than a serious commitment to building CF's own services on top of it — not "open, collaborative, standardized, and shared across many organizations".
