## What it is
Cubism.js is a D3 plugin for visualizing time series data in the browser. It is designed for building realtime dashboards that pull metrics from sources like Graphite and Cube.

## Use cases
- build realtime monitoring dashboards for server metrics
- visualize time series data from Graphite or Cube
- render horizon charts of streaming metrics in the browser
- track live application performance metrics
- display scrolling time series charts on a status page

## When to choose
- you need realtime time series visualization in a web dashboard
- your metrics come from Graphite, Cube, or similar streaming sources
- you want compact horizon charts that show long time ranges in little space

## When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose charting library for static charts
- your project uses modern frameworks and needs actively maintained visualization tooling
- you need charts other than time series (bar, pie, etc.)

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: data-visualization, charts
- domain: data-visualization, monitoring, analytics
- platform: browser
- tags: d3-plugin, time-series, realtime-dashboards, horizon-charts, nodejs
