## What it is
AtomicServer is a lightweight open-source headless CMS and graph database for creating, sharing, and modeling Atomic Data, shipped as a single self-contained binary with full-text search and a table editor. It includes a React data browser, JS/React/Svelte SDKs, a Rust library, and a CLI client.

## Use cases
- self-host a headless CMS with structured data
- store and query linked data / RDF resources
- build a custom data model with classes and schemas
- add full-text search over structured content
- build local-first apps with peer-to-peer data sync
- serve a web app and API from a single binary
- manage data via a table editor UI

## When to choose
- you want a self-hosted, single-binary CMS plus graph database
- your data fits a linked-data / RDF / Atomic Data model
- you need SDKs for JS, React, Svelte, Rust, or Flutter clients
- you want local-first, CRDT-based collaborative data

## When to avoid
- you need a battle-tested production database (project is pre-1.0 alpha with breaking changes)
- you need standard SQL or relational schemas
- you require a mature ecosystem of plugins and integrations
- you need heavy concurrent write workloads at scale
