​Additional languages (​Rust)

Kestra is language agnostic. This section shows how to use Rust in your flows.

Orchestrate Rust scripts

Using Commands, you can run arbitrary commands in a Docker container. This means that you can use other languages (such as Rust) as long as:

1. Their dependencies can be packaged into a Docker image
2. Their execution can be triggered from a Shell command line.

Here is an example flow using a Rust image created using the following sample ETL project:

id: rust_in_container
namespace: dev
tasks:
  - id: rust
    type: io.kestra.plugin.scripts.shell.Commands
    commands:
      - etl
    docker:
      image: ghcr.io/kestra-io/rust:latest
    outputFiles:
      - "*.csv"

Once the container finishes execution, you'll be able to download all CSV files generated by the Rust container from the Outputs tab.
