## What it is
Hermes is an open-source document management system created by HashiCorp Labs to help scale the writing and document review process. It integrates with Google Workspace or SharePoint/Microsoft 365 backends and is built with a Go backend and Ember.js frontend.

## Use cases
- manage internal documents with approval workflows
- search company documents across Google Drive
- scale the document writing and review process
- self-host a document management system
- integrate document management with Google Workspace or Microsoft 365

## When to choose
- your organization uses Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 for documents
- you need structured document creation, review, and approval workflows
- you want an open-source, self-hosted alternative to proprietary DMS tools

## When to avoid
- you need a fully stable, production-hardened system (it is in alpha)
- you don't use Google Workspace or SharePoint/Microsoft 365
- you need offline or non-cloud-integrated document storage

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: experimental
- function: search-engine, auth, web-framework, documentation
- domain: documentation, web-development, developer-tools, self-hosted
- platform: self-hosted
