You Can Make Postgres Scale
https://github.com/shrinerb/shrine/discussions/665
I've never personally encountered this, but I've seen other HN contributors mention it.
From what I can tell, unlike mongo, some postgres queries will try to update the entire JSONB data object vs a single field. This can lead to race conditions.

[Poll] How do you handle file attachments in your Rails app in 2023?
Shrine is great, has more features and a simpler API (imo) than ActiveStorage https://shrinerb.com

I've done a mistake when I've chosen ActiveStorage (Rails 7. Start Kit, Release 1.7)
Don't you know `carrierwave` and `shrine` work already with this secure way to name folders/files? - https://github.com/carrierwaveuploader/carrierwave - https://github.com/shrinerb/shrine

A First Look at Hanami 2 for Ruby
In general, even though the Hanami ecosystem lacks any "plug-and-play" solutions such as Devise, you can use many existing libraries not tightly coupled to Ruby on Rails. For authentication, you can use Warden, OmniAuth or Rodauth. For uploads there is Shrine. The pagination is built into ROM. Integration with exception catchers such as Rollbar is easy.
- If you use shrine, lock net-protocol to < 0.2.0 for now

Image Uploading with Shrine
Once I knew I wanted to upload images I stated to look around for different ways to do so. I came across a gem named shrine which can be found here https://shrinerb.com/. This is were the hard part came in. Aside from installing the gem like normal, there was a second step that needed to be done to allow images to be rendered. I needed to install https://imagemagick.org/index.php ImageMagick onto my system. After this I was able to add images.

is it possible to convert a json string into a StringIO or other file-like object?
A [file field submission](https://github.com/shrinerb/shrine/wiki/Adding-Direct-S3-Uploads) (without Dashboard/Webcam) takes hidden_field :image, value: @photo.cached_image_data and a file_field :image selection in the form, then does this in console when saved:

Migrating from Refile to ActiveStorage
Historically I've been using the Refile gem for attaching files to my Rails models. But the gem hasn't been maintained for a long time and since Rails 5.2 ActiveStorage has been my preferred way to go.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing Shrine and Refile you can also consider the following projects:
CarrierWave - Classier solution for file uploads for Rails, Sinatra and other Ruby web frameworks
PaperClip - Easy file attachment management for ActiveRecord
DragonFly - A Ruby gem for on-the-fly processing - suitable for image uploading in Rails, Sinatra and much more!
