## What it is
Joystream is a monorepo containing the full software stack for a Substrate-based blockchain network: the full node, runtime modules, storage/distributor/query infrastructure servers, CLI, and front-end apps. It powers a decentralized video and governance platform.

## Use cases
- run a joystream blockchain full node
- operate storage and distribution infrastructure for a video network
- build custom substrate runtime modules
- participate in on-chain governance via CLI
- set up a local blockchain development network
- run network integration tests

## When to choose
- you want to run or develop on the Joystream network
- you need a Substrate-based chain with media and working-group governance features
- you want to operate validator, storage, or distributor nodes

## When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose smart contract platform
- you want a simple turnkey video hosting service without blockchain
- you are not comfortable running Rust/Node/Docker infrastructure

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: blockchain, cli, web-framework, developer-tools, testing
- domain: blockchain, media, developer-tools, self-hosted
- platform: rust, cross-platform
- tags: substrate, monorepo, video-platform, governance, storage-node, query-node, full-node, cryptocurrency, linux, nodejs, docker
