## Overview
Dendrite is a second-generation Matrix homeserver written in Go. It intends to provide an efficient, reliable and scalable alternative to Synapse:
### Features
- Efficient: A small memory footprint with better baseline performance than an out-of-the-box Synapse.
- Reliable: Implements the Matrix specification as written, using the same test suite as Synapse as well as a brand new Go test suite.
- Scalable: can run on multiple machines and eventually scale to massive homeserver deployments.
