Scrolls
A Ruby library for generating structured logs in key=value format, treating logs as data for infrastructure monitoring.
What is Scrolls?
Scrolls is a Ruby library for generating structured logs in the `key=value` format, making logs machine-readable and easier to parse. It originated from internal logging methods at Heroku and provides a simple API for adding context, logging exceptions, and customizing output. The library treats logs as data to offer real-time insights into system behavior.
Ruby developers and teams building applications that require structured, parseable logging for monitoring and debugging, especially in infrastructure or production environments.
Developers choose Scrolls for its simplicity, structured output, and Heroku-inherited reliability. It avoids complex configurations and focuses on treating logs as actionable data with features like global context and exception logging.
