Why GoNavi?

Most database GUIs are Electron shells with megabytes of tax. GoNavi takes a different path — and “lightweight” only makes sense if you separate three numbers:

Number	What it means	GoNavi (v0.9.8)
Installer size	What you download	~20–26 MB class (Win / macOS / Linux release assets)
Steady-state RSS	What RAM the running UI holds	Linux WebKit build, idle empty workbench: main ≈ 429 MB; with WebKit helpers ≈ 765 MB (method below)
UI stack	Chromium tax or not	Go + system WebView (Wails) — not Electron

	Typical Electron client	GoNavi
Runtime	Chromium + Node	Go + native WebView
Installer	Hundreds of MB common	~20–26 MB class
Startup	Heavy	Fast
Memory claim	Often mixed with installer size	Measure RSS separately (see note)
AI / Agents	Bolt-on or absent	First-class MCP + multi-provider AI (draft SQL; GUI still owns schema / edits / EXPLAIN)
Data sources	Mostly RDBMS	SQL · Cache · Vector · MQ · Search · Time-series · Domestic DBs

Installer MB ≠ RAM. The RSS figures above are one Linux cloud run of the v0.9.8 WebKit41 build (empty workbench, no DB connections, remote display, ~30–40 s steady). Do not compare them to installer size, or to unverified “native ~80 MB” marketing. Windows / macOS laptop numbers may differ — treat them as a labeled sample, not a leaderboard score.

One cockpit for MySQL, Postgres, Redis, Kafka, Milvus, OceanBase, ClickHouse…
Query, edit, audit, sync — and hand structured context to coding agents without leaking passwords off-host.
