+# Eclipse Daanse Playground Application
+
+**Availability: Git Repository Only - No Docker Container/Artifact**
+
+The playground application is a comprehensive development tool that includes all components necessary for creating and configuring Daanse OLAP servers. It serves as a complete testing and development environment.
+
+## What's Included
+
+### Complete Component Set
+- **All Dialects**: Support for every database dialect available in the Daanse ecosystem
+- **All Data Sources**: Every possible data source connector included
+- **Web Consoles**: Administrative and management web interfaces
+- **Helper Components**: Tools that assist in creating and configuring pivot servers
+
+### Development Features
+- **Full Configuration Testing**: Test all possible configurations before production deployment
+- **Component Exploration**: Discover and experiment with different Daanse components
+- **Integration Testing**: Validate component interactions in a complete environment
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+### Why No Docker Release
+Due to the large number of components included in the playground application, the attack surface is significantly increased. For this reason, the Daanse project has decided not to provide a Docker release or pre-built artifacts.
+
+### Risk Assessment
+- **Increased Attack Surface**: More components mean more potential security vulnerabilities
+- **Development Only**: Not intended for production environments
+- **Security Trade-off**: Comprehensive functionality vs. security exposure
+
+## Use Cases
+
+### Development Tool
+- **Server Customization**: Ideal for adapting and developing Daanse OLAP servers
+- **Component Selection**: Help determine which components are needed for specific use cases
+- **Configuration Validation**: Test configurations before implementing in production
+
+### Learning Environment
+- **Feature Exploration**: Understand all available Daanse capabilities
+- **Component Dependencies**: Learn how different components interact
+- **Best Practices**: Develop understanding of optimal configurations
+
+## Getting Started
+
+### Source Code Location
+The playground application source can be found at:
+`https://github.com/eclipse-daanse/org.eclipse.daanse.server/tree/main/application/playground`
+
+### Prerequisites
+- Access to the Daanse git repository
+- Java development environment
+- Understanding of security implications
+
+## Important Notes
+
+⚠️ **Security Warning**: This application should only be used in development environments due to the increased attack surface from the comprehensive component set.
+
+✅ **Development Value**: Despite security considerations, this is a very helpful tool for customizing and developing Daanse OLAP servers.
+
+🔧 **Configuration Helper**: Essential for understanding component relationships and optimal server configurations before production deployment.
