Built for Speed

The entire backend is written in Go -- compiled, concurrent, and fast:

• Compiled binary -- single executable, zero runtime dependencies
• Concurrent processing -- goroutines handle 50+ data sources simultaneously
• Sub-10ms MCP response time -- no interpreter overhead, no cold starts
• < 20MB memory -- runs anywhere, from a Raspberry Pi to the cloud
• Zero external Go dependencies -- pure standard library MCP server
