## What it is
Naftis is a web-based dashboard for managing Istio service mesh tasks on Kubernetes. It lets users create customizable task templates, execute and roll back tasks, view real-time dashboards, and diagnose Istio services and pods.

## Use cases
- manage istio tasks from a web dashboard
- create reusable istio task templates
- view istio service graph with custom root nodes
- diagnose istio services and pods
- roll back a failed istio configuration task
- deploy an istio admin ui with kubectl

## When to choose
- you run Istio on Kubernetes and want a lightweight admin UI
- you need templated, repeatable Istio tasks with rollback support
- you want out-of-the-box deployment via kubectl manifests

## When to avoid
- you use a newer Istio version than 1.0, as the project is in maintenance
- you need full Istio feature coverage from a modern console like Kiali
- you do not use Kubernetes or Istio

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: maintenance
- function: monitoring, web-framework, developer-tools
- domain: microservices, monitoring, cloud-computing
- platform: self-hosted, go
- tags: istio, service-mesh, dashboard, kubernetes-admin, task-templates, devops, containers, kubernetes, docker, web-server
