Perses project goals

The project has guiding goals for its development:

  • Become an open standard dashboard visualization tool

    • have well defined dashboard definition model
    • GitOps compatible for dashboard-as-code workflows
    • Perses runs locally, edit dashboard JSON file in Git

  • Provide embeddable charts and dashboards in any user interface

    • provide different NPM packages
    • example usage could be to improve graph display in Prometheus (or embed)

  • Target Kubernetes (k8s) native mode

    • dashboard defs deployed into & read from app namespaces (CRDs)

  • Provide complete static validation for CI/CD pipelines

  • Provide command line client: percli

  • Architecture supporting future plugins
