KCDC 2016: Rails Database Corruption

Almost every Rails database contains records that won't pass their model validations, leading to "can't happen" bugs months or years later. This talk introduces a gem that detects unsafe practices and lurking corrupt data. Learn to recognize and prevent five six ways data becomes corrupt, and maybe replace ActiveRecord validations entirely.

(Audio is a little rough at the end, you can only hear me and the front row, but I repeated or gave lots of context to questions so they'd be understandable.)

The slides are available. (PDF)
