## What can {{% param "PRODUCT_NAME" %}} do?

{{< param "PRODUCT_NAME" >}} is more than just observability signals like metrics, logs, and traces. It provides many features that help you quickly find and process your data in complex environments.
Some of these features include:

* **Custom components:** You can use {{< param "PRODUCT_NAME" >}} to create and share custom components.
Custom components combine a pipeline of existing components into a single, easy-to-understand component that's just a few lines long.
You can use pre-built custom components from the community, ones packaged by Grafana, or create your own.
* **GitOps compatibility:** {{< param "PRODUCT_NAME" >}} uses frameworks to pull configurations from Git, S3, HTTP endpoints, and just about any other source.
* **Clustering support:** {{< param "PRODUCT_NAME" >}} has native clustering support.
Clustering helps distribute the workload and ensures you have high availability.
You can quickly create horizontally scalable deployments with minimal resource and operational overhead.
* **Security:** {{< param "PRODUCT_NAME" >}} helps you manage authentication credentials and connect to HashiCorp Vault servers or Kubernetes clusters to retrieve Kubernetes secrets.
* **Debugging utilities:** {{< param "PRODUCT_NAME" >}} provides debugging tools such as an embedded [user interface][UI] to help you identify and resolve configuration problems.
Some of these features include custom components, GitOps compatibility, clustering support, security, and debugging utilities. Refer to the {{< param "PRODUCT_NAME" >}} [Introduction] for more information on these and other key features.
