God is an easy-to-configure, easy-to-extend process monitoring framework written in Ruby. It keeps server processes and tasks running using poll- and event-based conditions, with a Ruby-based configuration format and an integrated notification system.

Use cases

• keep a server process running and restart it if it dies
• monitor processes and alert when memory or cpu usage exceeds thresholds
• supervise non-daemonizing scripts as part of deployment
• write custom monitoring conditions in Ruby
• run periodic checks on background tasks at different intervals

When to choose

• you run Ruby infrastructure and want process supervision configured in Ruby
• you need lightweight process monitoring on Linux, BSD, or macOS
• you want both poll-based and event-based condition checks with custom notifications

When to avoid

• you need to monitor processes on Windows
• you want a modern, actively developed supervisor with broad community support
• you need container-native or Kubernetes-based process management
