Use Cases

Visual DevOps for Non-Experts

Developers with zero Docker Swarm knowledge deploy Golang services by uploading docker-compose.yml files through Portainer UI. Set resource limits, health checks, and secrets through forms instead of YAML configuration, making cloud-native accessible to all skill levels.

Template-Driven Service Deployment

Pre-built templates for common patterns: "Golang REST API + PostgreSQL", "Python ML Model + Redis Cache", "Static Website + CDN". One-click deployment with automatic Kong route creation, Authentik integration, and Grafana monitoring setup.

Cost-Conscious Resource Management

Visual resource allocation across mini PC cluster. See real-time CPU/memory usage per container, identify resource-hungry services, and optimize placement. Stack deployment wizard calculates resource requirements and suggests optimal node distribution for maximum efficiency.
