Lightweight Development Principles

Zero Dependencies: Avoid external runtime dependencies
Minimal Allocations: Optimize memory usage and garbage collection
Efficient Algorithms: Prefer O(1) and O(log n) operations
Smart Caching: Cache frequently used data and configurations
Lazy Loading: Load components only when needed
Binary Size: Keep binary under 5MB compressed
Memory Usage: Target <10MB resident memory
Startup Time: Maintain sub-100ms startup time

Adding New Services (Lightweight Guidelines)

Create minimal service definition in services/
Use Alpine or distroless base images
Optimize resource configurations for minimal footprint
Add lightweight health checks
Include resource usage documentation
Ensure fast startup times (<5 seconds)
Test on resource-constrained environments
Update performance benchmarks
