About:
cargo-bloat is a Rust command-line tool that analyzes compiled binaries to determine the size contribution of each dependency and function. It helps developers identify which parts of their code and third-party crates are consuming the most space. This enables targeted optimization to reduce executable size for performance-critical or resource-constrained applications.
Key Features:
  • Analyzes Rust crates and functions for size contribution
  • Works with both release and debug builds
  • Provides detailed breakdowns of dependency sizes
  • Supports checking specific Rust functions for bloat
Use Cases:
  • Reducing binary size for embedded systems or WASM applications
  • Identifying heavy dependencies in Rust projects
  • Optimizing deployment artifacts for faster downloads
Alternatives:
  • cargo-bloat – cargo-bloat is Rust-specific and analyzes crate-level bloat, while bloaty is language-agnostic and focuses on ELF/Mach-O sections and symbols
  • bloaty – bloaty is language-agnostic and focuses on ELF/Mach-O sections and symbols, while cargo-bloat is Rust-specific and analyzes crate-level bloat
