## What it is
KubeView is a Kubernetes cluster visualization tool that renders cluster resources and their relationships as an interactive graph. It offers real-time updates via SSE, health-based color coding, pod log viewing, and resource search/filtering through a web UI or standalone binary.

## Use cases
- visualize kubernetes cluster resources and dependencies
- troubleshoot pod issues and view logs in a graph view
- understand relationships between deployments services and ingresses
- monitor cluster resource health in real time
- explore a kubernetes namespace with search and filters
- debug kubernetes workloads without kubectl

## When to choose
- you want a lightweight, read-only graphical map of a Kubernetes cluster
- you need real-time updates as resources change
- you prefer a standalone binary that needs no in-cluster deployment
- you want quick visual troubleshooting with pod logs and events

## When to avoid
- you need full cluster administration or resource editing, not just visualization
- you require deep observability with metrics, alerts, and dashboards like Prometheus/Grafana
- you need multi-cluster management at scale
