# For Engineers

TinyChain is an all-in-one backend host which allows you to rapidly prototype a complex application and scale it without rewriting. You can easily split a monolithic application into many microservices, or combine multiple services into one monolithic application. TinyChain optimizes your application's performance with automatic concurrency (multithreading) and GPU acceleration, with no extra code required. There is a Python client provided (try it out with `pip3 install tinychain`) but you can easily build your own client in any language by implementing TinyChain's JSON data description and protocol (see [Technical Details](/fundamentals/technical-details.md)). You can find more information in the [Guides](/guides/getting-started.md), the [client API documentation](https://tinychain.readthedocs.io/), the [tests](https://github.com/haydnv/tinychain/tree/main/tests), and the [tutorial videos](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCC6brO3L3JR0wUiMSDoGjrw).
