Ruby Web Dev The Other Way

Good work!

On some work projects I've gotten a lot of mileage out of breaking with the traditional Rails patterns in favor of stuff like `Operation` objects. Too bad I didn't know about Trailblazer!

I also agree about Rails making excessive use of Ruby magic. Just because it's possible, doesn't mean you should do it.

Regarding non-ActiveRecord models, I use Sequel[1] exclusively at work - in addition to being decidedly less magical, it has wonderful support for most Postgresql specific features.

I'll be consulting this in the future before embarking on new Ruby adventures.

Do you have experience of using sequel with rails 5?

Also, what do you use for authentication?

There's a plugin for Sequel::Model that provides ActiveModel compatibility, which should make it work with the usual rails gems.

Sequel is my favourite of the tools I use.

I don't have experience with Sequel and rails 5 specifically. The thing is, models are really not very coupled to rails. We don't have to do anything special to use Sequel models - it has good support for Rails migrations and everything.

Regarding authentication, my company makes authorization and access control software, so authentication isn't something we just toss a plugin at.

I haven't used Sequel by myself, but definitely, need to add a mention about it. Thanks!
