## What it is
A Go-based terminal tool for visualizing dynamic node usage within a Kubernetes cluster, originally built at AWS to demonstrate Karpenter consolidation. It displays scheduled pod resource requests versus allocatable node capacity, with pricing lookups and label filtering.

## Use cases
- visualize node capacity and pod requests in an EKS cluster
- demonstrate Karpenter consolidation in demos
- monitor CPU and memory requests across cluster nodes
- filter and sort nodes by labels or resource usage
- estimate cluster node costs with pricing lookups

## When to avoid
- you need actual resource usage metrics rather than pod requests
- you require long-term metrics storage or alerting
- you run clusters outside Kubernetes/EKS with different needs
