Versioned database logic is getting governance-minded in Rails, and the core idea is simple: version DB functions and triggers so they stay in step with evolving apps. Fx's approach for Rails shows how to do this in practice, giving teams a way to track DB rules as software changes roll out. It's a practical toolkit for teams balancing code shipping with rule migrations. [1]
Fx treats database logic as versioned artifacts—functions, triggers, and rules that can be updated without losing historical context. That setup helps development teams keep application code and database behavior aligned in a living Rails project. [1]
On the other side, DuckDB's Relational Charades: Turning Movies into Tables pushes a bold take on how data can live inside a database [2]. It shows how a single system can host evolving, even playful, relational structures that inform modeling choices. [2]
• Fx versioned database functions and triggers for Rails — this approach treats DB logic as versioned artifacts, letting teams evolve functions, triggers, and rules in parallel with their app code [1].
• DuckDB post on Relational Charades — turning Movies into Tables shows how a database can host evolving schemas in surprising ways [2].
Governance for evolving apps just got more concrete. Watch how these ideas influence Rails projects as they scale.
