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.
