Compile Rust binaries in release mode with stripped symbols to minimize file size.
Reduce binary size by compiling in release mode with optimizations and stripping debug symbols.
RUSTFLAGS="-C link-arg=-s" cargo build --release
This command enables the release profile for maximum optimization and passes the -s flag to the linker to strip symbol information from the final binary.
Reducing binary size in Rust builds your program for production use, making it run faster and take up less space on disk. It works like packing a suitcase for a trip: you remove the heavy, unnecessary items (debug symbols) and organize the rest tightly (optimizations) so everything fits better.
