## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
- maturity: maintenance
- function: monitoring, alerting, scheduling, cli
- domain: monitoring, self-hosted
- platform: bsd, ruby, cli
- tags: process-monitoring, process-management, daemon-supervision, ruby-gem, keepalive, devops, automation, linux, macos
