Heya,

tremor should compile on (most) ARM64 systems, we've tried it for the M1 chip but any system having a up to date NEON instruction set for simd-json should build.

The problem with publishing packages is that github doesn't offer build infrastructure on arm :( so we're a bit stuck on that.

[theopsbadger]

Gotcha. Unfortunately I don't have an M* laptop and its actually our cloud provider that has the arm64 nodes. I tried cross compiling based on this article but ran into errors. Not really familiar with Rust or cross compiling for that matter. Is it possible?

a "quick" workaround would be to spin up a VM / container in your cloud and do a quick "cargo build --release" that gives you the binary to run, or probably a docker build could work too to get the container
