Active Storage in production: lessons learned and in-depth look at how it works
26-Jul-2023 595
1. IntroductionIn my company, we lucked out that Rails 5.2 (and Active Storage) was released just before we needed to implement user uploads. This means that we have been using it in production for over 5 years, across 3 different hosts (Heroku, AWS, and GCP) and 3 different storage providers (S3, GCS, and R2).Our primary use case is image galleries, either of products we sell, or user-uploaded images on their wedding/birthday/baby shower websites. This means that we rely heavily on image transformations, which Active Storage makes trivial to generate.While we love Active Storage (which I’ll call AST from now on), there are certain design decisions in AST that one should be aware of, as they have an impact on the overall performance of the app, and not just the pages that use AST.
