## What it is
ChirpStack is an open-source LoRaWAN Network Server written in Rust for setting up private or public LoRaWAN networks. It provides a multi-tenant web interface for managing gateways, devices, and tenants, integrations with cloud providers and databases, and a gRPC API for extension.

## Use cases
- set up a private LoRaWAN network for IoT sensors
- manage LoRa gateways and end devices through a web interface
- forward device uplink and downlink data to cloud providers or databases
- integrate a LoRaWAN network server into existing systems via gRPC API
- run a multi-tenant IoT device management platform
- extend LoRaWAN coverage with relay gateway mesh networking

## When to choose
- you need a self-hosted, open-source LoRaWAN network server
- you want multi-tenant management of gateways and devices with a web UI
- you need broad LoRaWAN regional and specification support (EU868, US915, LoRaWAN 1.0-1.1, RP002)
- you require gRPC or MQTT integrations with external systems

## When to avoid
- you need a proprietary or commercially supported LPWAN solution
- your devices use a non-LoRaWAN protocol like NB-IoT or Sigfox
- you want a fully managed cloud service without self-hosting
