| Best use | For developers and small teams that want architecture and data-flow diagrams close to the repository and reviewable as text. Use it when relationships matter more than pixel-perfect placement; not for free-form marketing design or exact manual positioning. | Best for an individual developer or small team running a VPS, home server, or a few Docker hosts and needing a simple dashboard, history, and alerts. Its value is combining host and container metrics in a self-hosted hub. It is not a full logs-and-traces observability platform. | For documentation authors and small teams checking references locally or in CI. Start with a specific file and interpret findings; it does not establish complete site or login functionality. |
