## What it is
HOMER is an open-source telecom observability platform that captures, stores, and analyzes SIP/VoIP/RTC signaling via the HEP protocol. Version 11 is an all-in-one Go server combining HEP ingest, DuckLake/Parquet storage, query nodes, and a REST API with a built-in UI.

## Use cases
- monitor sip traffic
- troubleshoot voip call quality
- capture and analyze sip packets
- view call flows and cdrs
- monitor webrtc and rtc sessions
- collect sip qos metrics
- self-hosted telecom packet capture and analytics

## When to choose
- you need SIP/VoIP/RTC signaling capture, search, and call-flow analysis
- you run Kamailio, OpenSIPS, or other HEP-capable infrastructure and want centralized observability
- you want a self-hosted, cloud-native (Docker/K8s) telecom monitoring data lake

## When to avoid
- you need generic application/APM monitoring rather than telecom signaling
- you only need simple log aggregation without protocol-aware analysis
- your environment cannot run Go services or object/parquet-backed storage
