## What it is
Routr is a lightweight, programmable SIP proxy, location server, and registrar for building scalable VoIP infrastructure. It is cloud-native, deployable via Docker and Kubernetes, and controllable through a CLI, RESTful API, web GUI, and Node.js SDK.

## Use cases
- deploy a scalable SIP server for VoIP telephony
- run a cloud-native SIP proxy on Kubernetes
- build a programmable alternative to Twilio for voice
- register and route SIP endpoints and WebRTC clients
- manage a VoIP network via REST API or CLI
- set up a SIP registrar and location server for carriers

## When to avoid
- you need a full PBX with voicemail and conferencing out of the box
- you rely on legacy Asterisk dialplan or FreeSWITCH applications
- you need PSTN connectivity without an upstream carrier
