An Introduction to LiteStack for Ruby on Rails

• litestack

  16 891 9.0 Ruby

Next, we install LiteStack using the shipped generator:

• authentication-zero

  15 1,313 8.0 Ruby

  An authentication system generator for Rails applications.

Subsequently, we need a way to authenticate our users to associate prompts with them. Rather than using an incumbent like Devise, I chose to use a different approach. The authentication-zero gem can flexibly generate an authentication system, as opposed to including it as an engine. Conveniently, it comes with options such as:

• InfluxDB

  Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  

• ngrok

  100 2,294 3.1 JavaScript

  Expose your localhost to the web. Node wrapper for ngrok. (by bubenshchykov)

To test the webhook locally, you have to set up a tunnel, for example, with Ngrok. The steps to set it up are beyond the scope of this article, but it's pretty simple. Please refer to the Ngrok docs.

• replicate-rails

  1 17 10.0 Ruby

  Replicate gem for Rails

Fortunately for us, there are official and unofficial clients that interface with the API. One such wrapper is the replicate-rails gem, which we will install now:

• litestream

  165 9,997 7.5 Go

  Streaming replication for SQLite.

Recently, though, it has attracted a lot of experimentation and extensions. One of the most popular extensions is Litestream, which can recover stream changes to an S3-compatible bucket. This means you get a replica of your production database at a very cheap price point and can recover from failure anytime.

• WorkOS

  The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
