# Loona Daemon

Fast, reliable and secure.

## What is the Loona Daemon? 🤖

{% hint style="info" %}
In multitasking computer operating systems, a daemon is a computer program that runs as a background process, rather than being under the direct control of an interactive user. 

-[Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daemon_\(computing\))
{% endhint %}

The Loona Daemon is the brains behind the operation. The Daemon manages, deploys and updates the servers created for your customers and is built to be fast, reliable and secure.

## Nerd stuff 🤓

The Daemon has been built completely from scratch in Python, allowing us to architect the Daemon in a way that makes it super fast. We built the Daemon using [FastAPI](https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/), a modern, high-performance, web framework for building APIs with speeds on-par to NodeJS and Go.
