Runbook
A Ruby DSL framework for specifying, documenting, and gradually automating operational procedures and runbooks.
What is Runbook?
Runbook is a Ruby framework that provides a DSL for creating executable runbooks—structured documents that define operational procedures. It solves the problem of manual, error-prone operations by allowing teams to codify processes, execute them interactively or automatically, and generate documentation from the same source. It acts as a bridge between fully manual steps and complete automation.
DevOps engineers, SREs, and operations teams who manage server infrastructure, deployments, and incident response and want to standardize and gradually automate repetitive operational tasks.
Developers choose Runbook for its unique focus on gradual automation, allowing manual steps and automated commands to coexist in the same runbook. Its interactive execution, resumability, and deep extensibility make it ideal for complex, multi-step operations where safety and control are paramount.
