# ADR-0001 Use Golang for API

## Status

Accepted

## Decision

Backend is Go only (`apps/api`).

## Reason

1. Fits small team / AI-assisted CRUD + rule engines
2. Simple deploy (single binary)
3. Strong concurrency for future AI/proxy workloads

## Never

Never replace the API language with Node/Java/Python without a new ADR and explicit approval.  
Legacy `server.py` is temporary and must not grow new product APIs.
