Become a sponsor to Ilia Gradina

I build open-source data infrastructure in Rust with Python bindings:

• lexindex: compact, immutable string ↔ id indexes for huge
  catalogs. 1.26 bytes per key where a trie needs 3, and blobs you memory-map instead of rebuilding on
  every process start. On PyPI and crates.io, about 11 000 downloads a month.
• betula-cluster: fast, numerically stable
  BETULA/BIRCH-style clustering for large vector datasets, with a Rust core. Pairs with lexindex
  (string ids ↔ cluster ids) and stands on its own.

Sponsorship funds what keeps libraries like these dependable:

• compatibility across Rust and Python releases: abi3 wheels, MSRV, 32-bit and wasm targets;
• the benchmark suites behind every number in the READMEs, re-measured on every release;
• security hardening: every parser fuzzed weekly, safe loading of untrusted blobs;
• performance work at hundreds of millions of keys and rows.

Using one of them in production? A corporate sponsorship also tells me which workloads to
measure next.
