Logidze is a Ruby gem for Rails that logs database record changes at the PostgreSQL level using triggers, storing the version history in a JSONB column on the record itself. It provides an API to browse, diff, and revert record versions without requiring additional audit tables.

Use cases

• track changes to ActiveRecord records over time
• implement audit trails for Rails models without extra tables
• revert a record to a previous version
• view the full change history of a database row
• version model associations in Rails
• store who made a change and why with record metadata

When to choose

• you use Rails with PostgreSQL and want fast, DB-level change tracking
• you want version history stored with the record instead of separate audit tables
• you need undo/rollback to previous record versions
• you want an alternative to paper_trail or audited with better performance

When to avoid

• your app does not use PostgreSQL
• you need to audit changes outside Rails/ActiveRecord
• you require cross-database compatibility or non-Ruby access to the versioning logic
