## What it is
Graphene is a realtime dashboard and graphing toolkit built on D3 and Backbone, designed to display live metrics from Graphite (or other backends). It provides widgets like time series charts and gauges for building aesthetic monitoring dashboards.

## Use cases
- build a realtime metrics dashboard on top of Graphite
- display thousands of live datapoints in a browser dashboard
- create gauge labels and gauge gadgets for KPI monitoring
- visualize time series data from a metrics API
- customize a hackable dashboard toolkit for ops monitoring

## When to choose
- you use Graphite and want a D3-based realtime dashboard
- you need a lightweight, hackable JavaScript dashboard toolkit
- you want time series and gauge widgets for live metrics

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained project with recent updates or a license
- you use modern frameworks like React or Vue
- you need dashboards not backed by Graphite-style metrics APIs

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: data-visualization, charts, monitoring
- domain: data-visualization, monitoring, frontend, web-development
- platform: browser
- tags: dashboard, d3, backbone, graphite, realtime, metrics, javascript
