Rails Console-like Environment for a Plain Ruby Project
If you're working on a plain Ruby project and need an interactive console for debugging and exploration, this post covers how to set one up.

The setup is simple and provides a Rails-like experience for loading and interacting with the code.
You probably don’t need a collection of specialty databases. Just use Postgres instead!
Need a fast, reliable SQL-compliant RDBMS? Just use Postgres! Need to work with geospatial data? Just use Postgres! Handling semi- or non-structured documents? Just use Postgres! Generative AI embeddings? You’ve got it—just use Postgres! Written for software engineers and database pros, Just Use Postgres shows you how to get the most out of the powerful PostgresSQL database.
In Just Use Postgres! you’ll learn how to:
Develop generative AI, geospatial, and time-series applications
Everything from transactional RDBMS services to specialized workloads
Modern SQL including window functions, CTEs, and JSON data
Implement full-text search
B-trees, GIN, HNSW, expression, and more
Postgres extensions
Since its initial release in 1996, PostgreSQL, aka Postgres, has grown into the most popular and powerful full-featured open source RDBMS available.
