-## Frequently Asked Questions
+## Join Our Community
 
-### Q: "Oat++" name?
-
-- "Oat" is something light, organic, and green. It can be easily cooked and consumed with no effort. 
-- "++" gives a hint that it is "something" for C++.
-
-### Q: What is the main area of Oat++ application?
-
-Oat++ is used for many different purposes, from building REST APIs that run on embedded devices to 
-building microservices and highly-loaded cloud applications.
-
-But the majority of use cases appears to be in **IoT** and **Robotics**.
-
-### Q: How portable is Oat++?
-
-Theoretically, Oat++ can be **easily** ported everywhere where you have **threads** and **network stack**.
-With an additional comparably small effort, it can be ported almost everywhere depending on how
-much you strip it and what would be the final binary size.
-
-See [supported platforms](https://oatpp.io/supported-platforms/) for additional info.
-
-### Q: What is the size of a minimal Oat++ application?
-
-About **1Mb**, depending on C/C++ std-lib and oatpp version.
-
-### Q: Which Oat++ API to choose, Simple or Async?
-
-Always choose **Simple API** wherever possible. Simple API is more developed and makes the code cleaner.
-
-Async API is designed for small, specific tasks that run at high concurrency levels ex.:
-- Serving file downloads to a large number of concurrent users (1K users and more).
-- Streaming to a large number of clients (1K or more).
-- Websocket Chat servers.
-
-For all other purposes use simple API.
