## What it is
Gerapy is a distributed crawler management framework built on Scrapy, Scrapyd, Django, and Vue.js. It provides a web dashboard for managing, deploying, and monitoring Scrapy spider projects across multiple Scrapyd clients.

## Use cases
- manage multiple scrapy spiders from a web dashboard
- deploy scrapy projects to scrapyd servers with one click
- monitor distributed crawler jobs centrally
- edit scrapy projects through a browser
- orchestrate scrapyd clients across servers
- run a self-hosted crawler control panel with docker

## When to choose
- you run many Scrapy spiders across multiple Scrapyd hosts and need centralized control
- you want a GUI instead of raw scrapyd-deploy and curl commands
- you prefer a self-hosted, Docker-friendly crawler management console

## When to avoid
- you don't use Scrapy/Scrapyd for your scraping stack
- you need a single lightweight script with no web UI
- you require the visual project configuration module, which the project itself marks as unstable
