A Ruby gem that provides easy activity tracking for ActiveRecord, Mongoid, and MongoMapper models in Rails 6.1+. It records what has been changed or created and lets you present those activities to users, similar to GitHub's activity feeds.

Use cases

• track model changes in a rails app
• build a github-style activity feed
• record user actions on activerecord models
• show a news feed of recent activity
• audit trail for model create update delete
• activity stream for mongoid models

When to choose

• you need user-facing activity feeds or model change tracking in a Rails app
• you want a mature, drop-in gem with ActiveRecord, Mongoid, and MongoMapper support
• you want customizable activity views, layouts, and I18n out of the box

When to avoid

• you need full event sourcing or versioned snapshots rather than simple activity records
• you are not using Rails or an ORM it supports
• you need high-throughput event streaming rather than per-model activity logging
