 Dendrite is a second-generation Matrix homeserver written in Go.
 It intends to provide an **efficient**, **reliable** and **scalable** alternative to [Synapse](https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse):
- - Efficient: A small memory footprint with better baseline performance than an out-of-the-box Synapse.

 As of October 2020, Dendrite has now entered **beta** which means:
+
 - Dendrite is ready for early adopters. We recommend running in Monolith mode with a PostgreSQL database.
 - Dendrite has periodic semver releases. We intend to release new versions as we land significant features.
 - Dendrite supports database schema upgrades between releases. This means you should never lose your messages when upgrading Dendrite.
 - Breaking changes will not occur on minor releases. This means you can safely upgrade Dendrite without modifying your database or config file.
 
 This does not mean:
- - Dendrite is bug-free. It has not yet been battle-tested in the real world and so will be error prone initially.
- - All of the CS/Federation APIs are implemented. We are tracking progress via a script called 'Are We Synapse Yet?'. In particular,

 Currently, we expect Dendrite to function well for small (10s/100s of users) homeserver deployments as well as P2P Matrix nodes in-browser or on mobile devices.
-In the future, we will be able to scale up to gigantic servers (equivalent to matrix.org) via polylith mode.

 Also recommended are:

 - A PostgreSQL database engine, which will perform better than SQLite with many users and/or larger rooms
 - A reverse proxy server, such as nginx, configured [like this sample](https://github.com/matrix-org/dendrite/blob/master/docs/nginx/monolith-sample.conf)

 updates with CI. As of January 2022 we're at around 65% CS API coverage and 92% Federation coverage, though check
 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:

 We are prioritising features that will benefit single-user homeservers first (e.g Receipts, E2E) rather
 than features that massive deployments may be interested in (User Directory, OpenID, Guests, Admin APIs, AS API).
 This means Dendrite supports amongst others:
- - Core room functionality (creating rooms, invites, auth rules)
- - Federation in rooms v1-v7
- - Backfilling locally and via federation
- - Accounts, Profiles and Devices
- - Published room lists
- - Typing
- - Media APIs
- - Redaction
- - Tagging
- - E2E keys and device lists
- - Receipts
