 Dendrite is a second-generation Matrix homeserver written in Go.

+It intends to provide an **efficient**, **reliable** and **scalable** alternative to Synapse:
  - Efficient: A small memory footprint with better baseline performance than an out-of-the-box Synapse.
- - Simple: packaged as a single binary (monolith mode) with minimal required configuration options.
  - Reliable: uses the [same test suite](https://github.com/matrix-org/sytest) as Synapse as well as
    a [brand new Go test suite](https://github.com/matrix-org/complement).
  - Scalable: can run on multiple machines and eventually scale to massive homeserver deployments.

 We use a script called Are We Synapse Yet which checks Sytest compliance rates. Sytest is a black-box homeserver
 test rig with around 900 tests. The script works out how many of these tests are passing on Dendrite and it

 CI for the latest numbers. In practice, this means you can communicate locally and via federation with Synapse
 servers such as matrix.org reasonably well. There's a long list of features that are not implemented, notably:
