Modern software stacks frequently haul hundreds of megabytes of third-party dependencies just to serve dynamic HTTP. At Keylight, our entire server runs on standard library Python: ThreadingHTTPServer, sqlite3, hmac, and hashlib. Zero pip install. Zero npm build. The result is sub-100ms cold starts, zero supply-chain attack vectors, and seamless concurrency on a single lightweight core.
