My Ruby on Rails stack for side projects in 2021
One issue with Sidekiq is that you won't have access to rate limiting and scheduled jobs unless you pay for the enterprise version. If you are running a business then this is probably a good idea but we are going for dirt cheap here. The rate limit part can be solved using something like ruby-limiter for global rate limiting and sidekiq_limit_fetch to limit concurrency per queue. It doesn't have official support for modern Sidekiq versions but in my experience it works fine anyway. You should probably not use that for business critical things however.

Asset Pipeline JS Migration
Using Webpacker in Rails provides several advantages over the traditional asset pipeline. First, Webpacker uses JavaScript modules, which allows for better code organization and improved code reusability. Second, it offers modern frontend build tools, such as Babel and PostCSS, for transforming and compiling assets. Third, it provides faster build times and faster runtime performance through code splitting and lazy loading. Fourth, it offers better integration with JavaScript frameworks such as React, Vue, and Angular. Overall, Webpacker offers a more flexible and modern asset management solution for Rails applications. And while Webpacker is being retired, this initiative is to consolidate our code accordingly before moving our bundler to another solution.

How to setup ruby on rails + Angular
in ruby on rails 7 what is the best way to properly install Angular because I can't find any documentation about it. The only tutorial that exists uses webpacker (https://github.com/rails/webpacker) but unfortunately it is no longer supported and no longer up to date in terms of security.
