Graphiti: An Alternate Frontend for Graphite

Graphite is a powerful front end for the real-time graphing engine. Graphiti provides a whole new way of creating and storing graphs. This was using in day-to-day at Paperless as a way to monitor the infrastructure and product metrics. 

There’s been a big push in the development community on the need and desire for metrics to drive the business, product, and development cycles. Therefore it will definitely help full to the organisation which are based on  analysis and multi task processes.

Accounting data is not real-time, but it is precise. It’s generated nightly by some very awesome and complex SQL functions and collations by our venerable analytics lead. These numbers are hard facts and they give the information  to make important big decisions.

Difference between D3.js and Graphiti
D3 allows you to bind arbitrary data to a Document Object Model (DOM), and then apply data-driven transformations to the document. This can use D3 to generate an HTML table from an array of numbers. Or, use the same data to create an interactive SVG bar chart with smooth transitions and interaction.

So D3.js contain many kind of visualisation view something like table view, tree maps, bubble charts and more.But Graphiti is not contain that kind of fancy things. It's only the contain the specialised graph visualisation .

Therefore Graphiti is more use full when you are going to deal with some kind of analysis and comparing projects
