Hello,

You can see my other comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42708904#42756072 for more details.

But yes, the cache does persist after the first call, the resolved symbols stay in the cache to speed up the resolution of next calls.

Regarding the why, it is mainly because

1. this app is a gRPC server and contains a lot of generated code (you can investigate binary bloat with rust with https://github.com/RazrFalcon/cargo-bloat)

2. and that we ship our binary with debug symbols, with those options ``` ENV RUSTFLAGS="-C link-arg=-Wl,--compress-debug-sections=zlib -C force-frame-pointers=yes" ```

For the panic, indeed, I had the same question on Reddit. For this particular service, we don't expect panics at all, it is just that by default we ship all our rust binaries with backtrace enabled. And we have added an extra api endpoint to trigger a catched panic on purpose for other apps to be sure our sizing is correct.
