This Week in Rails
October 31, 2025
Hi, Wojtek here. 🎃 Let’s see if there are any spooky changes in Rails. 🎃
For the use case of a multi-database application, the global prohibition is overly broad, and so with this change the method prohibit_shard_swapping will scope the prohibition to the same connection class (i.e., connection_specification_name). This allows an application to prohibit shard swapping on a specific database while allowing it on all others.
You can view the whole list of changes here.
We had 22 contributors to the Rails codebase this past week!
Until next time!
