A Ruby gem that detects database issues in Rails applications, such as extraneous indexes, missing foreign key constraints, and validations not backed by database constraints. It ships as a set of Rake tasks that analyze Active Record models and schemas before problems reach production.

Use cases

• find missing foreign key constraints in a rails app
• detect unindexed foreign keys before deploying
• check uniqueness validations are backed by unique indexes
• find extraneous indexes slowing down writes
• audit activerecord models against the database schema
• detect missing non-null constraints on columns

When to choose

• you maintain a Ruby on Rails application with Active Record
• you want automated database schema health checks in CI
• you need to catch index and constraint gaps before production

When to avoid

• your project does not use Ruby on Rails or Active Record
• you need general-purpose database monitoring rather than schema/model consistency checks
