## What it is
KubeDiagrams generates Kubernetes architecture diagrams from manifest files, kustomization files, Helm charts, helmfiles, and live cluster state. It supports built-in and custom resources, customizable clustering and relationships, an interactive viewer, a web app, and a JetBrains IDE plugin.

## Use cases
- generate architecture diagrams from kubernetes manifests
- visualize helm chart structure as a diagram
- diagram an actual kubernetes cluster state
- document k8s cluster architecture for my team
- convert kustomization files into architecture diagrams
- visualize kubernetes custom resources and their relationships

## When to choose
- you need diagrams from manifests, Helm charts, or live clusters
- you want support for custom resources and customizable clustering
- you prefer CLI, web app, or IDE plugin usage

## When to avoid
- you need runtime monitoring dashboards rather than static architecture diagrams
- you need a general-purpose diagramming editor with manual drawing

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: active
- function: developer-tools, documentation, data-visualization
- domain: developer-tools, documentation
- platform: cli, python, cross-platform
