**We love open-source, and as part of our commitment to our community, we would like to remind you that the new Syntropy Golang Agent is now open-source, and you can find it publicly on [GitHub](https://github.com/SyntropyNet/syntropy-agent). Feel free to check it out, and play with it!**

In case you missed it, we shared our thoughts on the [Syntropy Agent Golang Refactor](https://dev.to/syntropystack/release-notes-1105-syntropy-agent-golang-refactor-45fp) last month, and now it's time to close the circle by open-sourcing it for the public.

To refresh our minds, here are the top highlights:
1. The agent is backward compatible, and all environment variables are still the same.
2. The agent is a single go binary, it’s easy to deploy in a non-docker environment.
3. It significantly reduced resource usage and improved overall speed.
4. ARM build is coming soon. Yay!
