The Rust rewrite turns Ward from a background service into a nearly invisible micro-process you can run on tiny cloud instances or Raspberry Pis.

Memory Footprint: ~5MB to 8MB RAM≈16–38× less RAM; Legacy Java (Spring Boot) typically uses ~130MB to 189MB RAM.
Startup Speed: < 10ms≈150–250× faster; Legacy Java typically takes ~1.5 to 2.5 seconds to initialize.
Application Size: ~6MB to 8MB binary≈6–8× smaller; Legacy ward.jar is ~45MB, and Java images often start at ~150MB+.
Idle CPU: ~0%Near-zero idle; No garbage collection. Legacy Java can idle around ~1–3% CPU due to GC / background activity.

Looking for the old Spring Boot build? The Java version is now maintained as legacy.
