Context

The rollup-http tool in our tools repository is currently implemented in Rust. This presents two challenges:

  1. Packaging requires compilation in an emulated riscv64 environment, taking hours to complete. While cross-compilation works for development, it's incompatible with upstream packaging requirements for Ubuntu and Alpine Linux.
  2. Alpine Linux classifies Rust as Tier 2 support, making its stability questionable in Alpine Linux.

Proposed Solutions

To eliminate Rust dependencies from the tools repository, we could:

  1. Reimplement rollup-http in C++, maintaining it within the tools repository
  2. Migrate rollup-http out of the tools repository and provide an alternative solution, reducing the emulator team maintenance scope
