# How the Data Shaper Engine works **Data Shaper Engine** is a platform for remote execution, monitoring and management of data transformations. Data Shaper Server runs embedded in the STENG Peer, and works in a clustered way when installed on multiple peers of the same STENG Cluster. It has a user interface with: * Web application running in application container * Management and monitoring of the environment * No graph development tools The best way to run graphs is on the Server. The Data Shaper Server tracks everything you do. If you run thousands of graphs, you can go back and look at the history of everything that happened. With the **Job Inspector module** you can see what the job itself looks like and how much data was processed. You can do everything you would expect from an environment designed for multiple users in an enterprise. You can run your graphs directly from Designer – even when they are stored on a Server. This allows you to use the powerful Designer interface to investigate and build your job quickly. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
