Using Action Policy for a Ruby on Rails App: The Basics
Action Policy is a flexible, extensible, and performant authorization framework for Ruby and Rails apps. It uses multiple caching strategies out of the box, making it very fast, especially if your authorization rules require database queries.

Pundit VS Action Policy - a user suggested alternative
2 projects | 2 Jul 2023
Action Policy is the latest Authorization framework I've seen recommended. What is more, it is maintained by the nice and experienced team from Evil Martians.

GitHub - keygen/api: an open, source-available software licensing and distribution API built with Ruby on Rails
Lots of goodies here, such as token authentication, role- and permission-based authorization (including a move from Pundit to ActionPolicy), and how I test the API end-to-end using *raises flame shield* Cucumber.
- Authentication, Roles, and Authorization... oh my.
-
Five Ruby Gems for Authentication and Authorization
Also, ActionPolicy is better than Pundit for most applications. Give it a try.
-
Concerns about authorization when going in production

Upgrading a legacy Ruby and Rails application.
If you want to try doing it without all the steps - https://github.com/fastruby/next_rails is pretty helpful. Otherwise, like others have said, just step through and update along the way
-
To Ruby from Python
For each version there is an upgrade page. Eg:
- https://guides.rubyonrails.org/v4.1/upgrading_ruby_on_rails....
- https://guides.rubyonrails.org/v5.0/upgrading_ruby_on_rails....
- https://guides.rubyonrails.org/v5.1/upgrading_ruby_on_rails....
You might want to give a try to this gem: https://github.com/fastruby/next_rails. I did not used it so far but I would have a Rails 4 app I will probably try to use it.
