GitHub downtime root cause analysis
I work on Canvas, and we mostly use straight rails migrations. We have some ActiveRecord extensions, linter rules, and careful manual review steps to ensure we do our migrations with minimal locking and other important things to avoid knocking over production databases, and we tag migrations as "predeploy" or "postdeploy" so they run at the correct time relative to when the code is deployed. But we have automation that runs predeploy migrations (just with rake db:migrate:predeploy) across hundreds of databases (and thousands of postgres schemas) before we deploy, and we run the post deploy migrations also automatically after the deploy (with rake db:migrate).

Can someone show me an example of a fully built program that I can pick apart to understand Ruby better? Something that would be up to like industry standards not a standard crud app with note taking. Please.

F*ck Google, here are some self-hosted alternatives.
Canvas (Docker image) > Google Classroom (Moodle is popular but you should really have a look at Canvas. You can find many resources about it at the instructure website [the company that's maintaining it])

EFF Questions Methodology Behind Dartmouth Cheating Allegations [pdf]
Auditing an entire year's log seems very excessive. However, timestamps are recorded, focus is recorded, and I've heard of cheaters being caught from this information. It's not the focus, but Canvas is partly a forensic tool.
And from my own observation, having a file open in the background with no focus does send occasional requests for other random file metadata that aren't open at all, so that's probably a source of the false accusations. Also, it's open source if any hackers would like to take a look.

I Hate Canvas Quizzes So Much.
Fun fact: "Ok, fine" has been around since the initial commit on Github: https://github.com/instructure/canvas-lms/blame/10060131b38be75803faaae6e0cd28fccb957842/app/views/quizzes/take_quiz.html.erb#L64-L77

Anyone self-host canvas?
The self-hosted version is also missing a fair few features:

Do you know a free/open/affordable course management software?
Possibly Canvas (Web-based)? It's probably not as lightweight as some other LMSes, as well as being designed for a larger scale, but it's very polished and is what most schools are using nowadays. It also supports SAML for auth.
