Key Features:

  • Multi-server comparison with color-coded lines
  • Time-based analysis to track usage trends
  • Interactive elements for precise data information
  • Responsive design for various screen sizes

Project Overview

The D3 Server Visualization project showcases the power of data-driven graphics in monitoring and analyzing server performance. By leveraging D3.js, React, and Tailwind CSS, this interactive visualization provides a comprehensive view of CPU usage across multiple servers, enabling quick identification of performance trends and potential issues.

Technical Implementation

The project demonstrates the seamless integration of several technologies:

  • D3.js: Handles core data binding and SVG manipulation for visualizations.
  • React: Manages component structure and state for efficient updates.
  • Tailwind CSS: Provides utility classes for flexible, modern styling.
  • TypeScript: Adds strong typing to enhance code quality and productivity.
