Conduit is a 3rd party implementation of the matrix server spec in Rust. Synapse and Dendrite are both first party where Dendrite was originally intended to replace Synapse.

The selling features are lightweight and simple to setup, implying that Synapse is not. It is more importantly a validation of the matrix server specs and over the years they have done quite a bit to get ambiguities clarified.

Originally intended? So dendrite is not slated to replace synapse anymore? I know the 'eventually' has become a bit of a running joke but I thought this was still the plan.

It's a shame there's no upgrade path though. With retention of history.

It seems like there're so many important deployments of Synapse that they need to keep it going. And I've read that the performance is way better than a few years ago.

At some point Dendrite was slated to support micro services on different machines to be able to scale up, but now they only support monolith deployments. It's aimed at "small" deployments and is used in their P2P efforts.
