Project mention: How to Create A Flexible, Performant Audit Trail In Ruby on Rails With A GraphQL API | dev.to | 2021-04-08
You often want to track what user's are doing throughout your app. There are some gems that help you do this. For example, activerecord_activity_tracker or public_activity. However, gems like these sometimes utilize polymorphic relationships, which don't scale well, or they're very opinionated about the setup. When your requirements differ from the default setup, it can become cumbersome to implement.

Database migrations: you should use strong_migrations to catch unsafe migrations that will lock your database.

IdentityCache
IdentityCache is a blob level caching solution to plug into Active Record. Don't #find, #fetch!
add identity_cache
-
I'm actually using materialized views and CTE with PhotoStructure (where hierarchies are arguably the cornerstone of the product).
It's pretty funny that I landed on this implementation, given that I spent a couple years building https://github.com/ClosureTree/closure_tree (one of the most popular acts-as-hierarchy ActiveRecord gems), as it (unsurprisingly) uses closure trees.
When CTE isn't available, closure trees are nice, but boy howdy, does that closure tree table get gigantic with deeper graphs.
If CTE is available, closure trees don't even come close in performance and simplicity.
(Hint: materialized paths should use a unique separator: ASCII 0x1F is applicable: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C0_and_C1_control_codes#Field_...)

validates_timeliness
Date and time validation plugin for ActiveModel and Rails. Supports multiple ORMs and allows custom date/time formats.

Spreadsheet Architect
Spreadsheet Architect is a library that allows you to create XLSX, ODS, or CSV spreadsheets super easily from ActiveRecord relations, plain Ruby objects, or tabular data.
-
Prosopite looks cool, it's is similar to https://github.com/salsify/goldiloader, though goldiloader will also rewrite the query to address the N+1 issue. You should be able to use both and verify goldiloader is working by checking that prosopite logs no N+1 queries.

lockbox and blind_index for email fields encryption

pg_search
pg_search builds ActiveRecord named scopes that take advantage of PostgreSQL’s full text search
This was a really good read, thanks. I've got into the habit of jumping straight to PgSearch but could definitely apply this approach to some existing projects.
