## What it is
ActiveInteraction is a Ruby gem for managing application-specific business logic through service objects that integrate seamlessly with Rails and ActiveModel. It validates typed inputs via filters before executing business logic, helping write safer, more organized code.

## Use cases
- encapsulate business logic in service objects in a Rails app
- validate and type-check inputs before running operations
- replace fat controllers with command objects
- compose complex workflows from smaller interactions
- handle form-like input processing with typed filters
- standardize error handling for business operations

## When to choose
- you're building a Rails or Ruby app and want structured service objects
- you need strict input validation and type coercion for operations
- you want a mature, well-maintained command-pattern library with ActiveModel integration

## When to avoid
- you're not using Ruby or Rails
- you need a full workflow engine or background job orchestration rather than synchronous service objects
- your team prefers plain POROs without a validation framework

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: middleware, form-handling, developer-tools
- domain: web-development, backend, developer-tools
- platform: ruby
- tags: service-objects, command-pattern, activemodel, business-logic, input-validation, rails, web-server
