## What it is
Sloop is a self-contained Go service that monitors a Kubernetes cluster, recording histories of events and resource state changes. It provides a web-based visualization with timeline displays to help debug past events, including resources that no longer exist.

## Use cases
- debug why a kubernetes pod disappeared after a deployment
- view a timeline of rollout changes to deployments and replicasets
- investigate transient or intermittent errors in a kubernetes cluster
- find what host a deleted pod was running on
- see how a kubernetes application's resources changed over time
- keep a history of kubernetes events without external storage dependencies

## When to choose
- you need to debug past kubernetes events and inspect deleted resources
- you want a self-contained history tool with no dependency on distributed storage
- you prefer a simple helm chart or docker deployment inside your cluster

## When to avoid
- you need full metrics, alerting, or log aggregation rather than resource/event history
- you require long-term retention in external storage systems
- you are not running kubernetes

## Facets
- artifact type: service
