ORM/ODM Extensions

  1. PaperTrail

    Track changes to your rails models

    Project mention: Ask HN: How do you "replay" a costly user mistake in your internal software? | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-07-09

    With Ruby on Rails one can use https://github.com/paper-trail-gem/paper_trail which will keep a record of every database change. Similarly one could record every database query on the database server.

    Looking at clicks sounds like recording the screen of the user. Too many privacy issues IMHO even for an internal tool.

  2. InfluxDB

    InfluxDB – Built for High-Performance Time Series Workloads. InfluxDB 3 OSS is now GA. Transform, enrich, and act on time series data directly in the database. Automate critical tasks and eliminate the need to move data externally. Download now.
