## What it is
Perses is a CNCF sandbox observability dashboard application for visualizing Prometheus metrics, Tempo traces, Loki logs, and Pyroscope profiles. It also provides an open dashboard specification, embeddable React components, SDKs, and a CLI for Dashboard-as-Code and GitOps workflows.

## Use cases
- visualize prometheus metrics in dashboards
- view tempo traces and loki logs in one place
- manage dashboards as code in ci/cd pipelines
- embed observability panels into my own react app
- manage dashboards as kubernetes CRDs
- open-source grafana alternative for observability

## When to choose
- you want a GitOps-friendly, dashboard-as-code observability tool
- you need Kubernetes-native dashboards managed via CRDs and an operator
- you want to embed dashboards or panels into your own UI
- you prefer an open dashboard specification and plugin extensibility

## When to avoid
- you need data sources beyond Prometheus, Tempo, Loki, and Pyroscope
- you rely on Grafana's mature plugin ecosystem and long-standing features
- you only need simple ad-hoc charts without dashboard tooling

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: data-visualization, monitoring, charts, cli, plugin-system, developer-tools
- domain: monitoring, data-visualization, cloud-computing, self-hosted
