## What is AfterGlow Cloud?

AfterGlow Cloud is a web-based data visualization tool that enables users to upload datasets and generate graph visualizations through a browser interface.

The tool is built on the Django web framework and serves as a cloud-based version of the command-line AfterGlow visualization utility. Users can upload their data files and create visual representations of relationships and patterns within the data without requiring local software installation.

The platform was developed as part of Google's Summer of Code 2012 initiative under The Honeynet Project. It requires a backend database system such as MySQL for data storage and processing. The application can be deployed on Apache web servers using mod_wsgi for production environments.

AfterGlow Cloud provides an accessible way to transform raw data into graphical formats, making it useful for analyzing network traffic patterns, security events, and other structured datasets that benefit from visual representation.
