A Rails plugin that logs a backtrace for every SQL query executed by Active Record in the development console and log. It helps developers locate where queries originate in their application code.

Use cases

• find where a SQL query is executed in a Rails app
• track down N+1 queries during development
• optimize database performance in a large Rails codebase
• debug which view or model triggers slow queries
• filter query traces to application code only

When to choose

• you develop Rails apps with Active Record and need query origin tracing
• you are profiling or optimizing database access in development
• you need to locate queries buried in views, decorators, or concerns

When to avoid

• you need production query monitoring or APM (use tools like Skylight or New Relic)
• your project does not use Ruby on Rails or Active Record
• you need query performance metrics rather than backtraces
