Audit Logging in Rails - HYBRD

In simple, CRUD-only Rails applications, the records in your database represent the current state of your system, but don’t tell you much about it’s history. You can see when a record was created, and when it was last updated, but you have no way of knowing how many times it was updated, or by whom, or what changes were made. You also don’t know what records were deleted, unless you check for missing sequential IDs. And even then, you don’t know who deleted those records, when they were deleted, or what they contained.
