A Ruby gem for Rails that stores global application settings as key-value pairs in the database, exposed through an ActiveRecord-like API with typed fields, defaults, and validations. Settings are cached for performance and can be grouped into scopes for admin UIs.

Use cases

• store global settings for a rails app in the database
• manage editable app configuration without redeploying
• add an admin-editable settings page with typed fields and validation
• cache key-value config in rails
• define default and readonly application settings

When to choose

• you need database-backed, runtime-editable global settings in a Rails app
• you want typed fields with defaults, validations, and caching out of the box
• you need grouped settings keys for building an admin UI

When to avoid

• you only need static environment-based config (use ENV or Rails credentials)
• you are not using Ruby on Rails or ActiveRecord
• you need per-user or per-model settings rather than global ones
