Llama Monkey on RubyGems and GitHub
The Llama Monkey platform-extraction track ships small, focused Ruby gems under the llamamonkey-* namespace. Each gem solves one problem cleanly and stands on its own outside the Llama Monkey product family. They’re also the spine that lets our products share infrastructure.
Why we open-source this stuff. Every Llama Monkey product (SnapMonkey, LMID, LiftMonkey, and what’s next) needs log shipping, auto-triage on incoming signals, and Rails-shaped automation primitives. Rather than write each of those three times, we extract them into standalone gems that each product depends on — and we publish those gems so they’re useful to anyone else solving the same shape of problem.
Open-source release is a forcing function on the API quality of the underlying code — if a primitive isn’t clean enough to publish, it usually means it’s not clean enough to depend on either. The gem release pressure makes our own products better.
Everything below is MIT-licensed by default. The list grows as the platform-extraction track lands more primitives. Bookmark this page; subscribe to the site changelog for release announcements.
Rails-shaped automation primitives
Coming soon — extracted from the Llama Monkey platform. Rails-shaped automation primitives drawn from the cross-product platform-extraction track that feeds the future app.llamamonkey.com surface. Not yet published to RubyGems; the repo and gem will appear here once the first extraction lands.
Axiom log shipper for Ruby
Extracted from the Llama Monkey platform — Axiom log shipper for Ruby apps. Coming soon.
Auto-triage primitive for Ruby services
Coming soon — extracted from the Llama Monkey platform. llamamonkey-remediator is an auto-triage primitive for Ruby services: a small library that ingests incoming signals (errors, alerts, support tickets, inbound events) and routes them to the right owner with the right context. Targeted at small ops teams that want platform-grade triage without standing up a full incident-management stack.
Each gem’s GitHub repository carries its own README, CHANGELOG, and issue tracker — that’s the right place to file a bug, request a feature, or send a pull request. The Llama Monkey marketing site (this site) is not the right surface for gem-level issues.
For coordination across multiple gems — or to discuss whether something should become a standalone gem — email [email protected] or the founder at LinkedIn. If you’re building a related Ruby tool and want to compare notes, we’d love to hear about it.
The platform extraction track is intentional and incremental. We don’t open-source code we wouldn’t depend on ourselves, and we don’t open-source half-finished primitives just for the GitHub-trending hit. If a gem isn’t on this page yet, it’s either still inside one of the products or not yet stable enough to publish.
