The literal meaning of "aus einem Guss" is "cast all at once".
This has overtones of "it is seamless, has no internal structural bounds
which may cause the final product to fracture under stress".
This is one of the highest praises that you can sing for software in
German, so it's not an uncommon idiom in the field over here.
