RubyGems.org is the Ruby community's central gem hosting service, a Rails application that lets developers publish, search, and install Ruby gems. The repository contains the site's source code, including the Rails app and the gem processor that stores uploaded gems in Amazon S3.

Use cases

• host ruby gems for the community
• publish a ruby gem to a public registry
• search and install ruby gems
• run my own private gem server
• query the rubygems api for gem metadata
• contribute to the ruby package registry codebase

When to choose

• you need the canonical public registry for Ruby gems
• you want to self-host a gem server based on the same code
• you want to contribute to or integrate with the RubyGems.org API

When to avoid

• you just need to install gems - use the rubygems/bundler client instead
• you need a package registry for another language ecosystem
• you want a lightweight private registry without running a full Rails app
