It is written in Rust and is designed to be lightweight, easy to set up, and run on various platforms. Vaultwarden is an alternative backend for the password manager Bitwarden, and while it does not implement the same feature set as the Bitwarden server, its setup is much simpler. Vaultwarden is a great option for small businesses because it is lightweight and runs well on devices with limited resources, such as Raspberry Pi and Synology NAS. It is also easy to set up and use, making it a great choice for businesses that do not have dedicated IT staff. Additionally, Vaultwarden is open-source, which means that businesses can customize it to meet their specific needs.
