# Chihaya [![Build Status](https://api.travis-ci.org/chihaya/chihaya.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/chihaya/chihaya)
Chihaya is a high-performance [BitTorrent tracker](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitTorrent_tracker) written in the Go programming language. It is still heavily under development and the current `master` branch should probably not be used in production (unless you know what you're doing).

## When would I use Chihaya?
Chihaya is a meant for every kind of BitTorrent tracker deployment. Chihaya has been used to replace instances of [opentracker] and also instances of [ocelot]. Chihaya handles torrent announces and scrapes in memory, but using a backend driver, can also asynchronously provide deltas to maintain a set of persistent data without throttling a database (this most useful for private tracker use-cases).

## Testing
Chihaya has end-to-end test coverage for announces in addition to unit tests for isolated components. To run the tests, use:
