## What it is
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
