+=========
+This project developed at the Mathematical Institute of Goettingen provides an alternative webservice for stack, which is a question type for ilias and moodle focused on math.
+It is mainly intended to be used as a docker container in a cluster, optimally one supporting autoscaling, as scaling in the service itself is not supported.
+
+This implementation in golang strives to have faster startup and processing times than the corresponding java version by using fork instead of starting a new process for each request.
+For some more information on how this works, [see the documentation](/doc/How_it_works.md).
