Perses, the GitOps Native dashboard visualization tool
summary
Perses is a GitOps-native dashboard that just enters CNCF sandbox and aims to be Kubernetes-native with CRDs, Prometheus data sources and a CLI-centric workflow called per CLI. Demo shows docker-compose startup, creating projects, data sources and dashboards, variables sourced from Prometheus labels, and live JSON and git-backed diffs. It supports dashboards as code via Q templates or a Go SDK. Limitations include fewer customization options than Grafana, missing units and Kubernetes operator maturity, ephemeral TTLs not working with the CLI, and some macOS CLI permission issues.
