What was the name of the gem that finds all unindexed foreign keys?

A gem that's pretty useful alongside this one is the annotation gem -- it prefixes models with their specific schema dump (as comments) and then updates those descriptive comments on migration. It's one of my go-to gems to install when I rotate onto a new-to-me Rails project (or start a new one) and I'm working to understand the data model.

Manage Your Ruby Logs Like a Pro
5 projects | dev.to | 24 May 2023

You can choose from a number of third-party logging libraries, including Logging — based on Java's log4j library — and Lograge. Lograge is a feature-rich logging library meant to simplify the often messy and verbose Rails logs characteristic of the default application logger.
Best rails tools to automatically handle logging of things like all a user's actions, or changes to a record in a module - primarily for audit purposes.
