    This is cool. We use strong_migrations but I’ll check this out. I love the idea of an enforced pattern for background data migrations.

    While I’m here a shameless plug for a gem we built that we’ve found incredibly helpful for safer migrations - https://github.com/TandaHQ/migration_signature

    It adds a CI check to guarantee the migrations you tested in development are actually the migrations that run in production.
