The RunWhen Authors Community: Royalties For Runbooks
summary
Claims a platform that assembles community-written troubleshooting steps into goal‑oriented automation that runs in about three days instead of a year — 100x faster — using a DSL based on Robot Framework and running repos via GitHub Sponsors so authors earn royalties. Examples: one client shaves $112,000 a month off observability by automating log collection, authors ship 3–5 steps/week, registry aims for ~70–100 core authors, 92% of steps are root‑cause, 8% remediation.
