Rails 7 and MySQL 8 support JSON fields. Migrations support them.

I have been using a combination of raw MySQL and other techniques to extract data. What's the proper ActiveRecord way of searching for fields in a JSON column (and updating as well)?

Are there any lessons that cover this?

Thanks. You're using Passenger. Do you see any advantages to Passenger over Puma?

Is there a guide to deploying with Puma to a Linux server (ubuntu) running Nginx?

Any idea where I can find an installation/configuration guide for Rails 7 on my MacOS Monterey? I have seen some tutorials on GoRails for specific Rails 7 issues, but no tutorial on how to install and configure it.

How is this related to my question? Go spam somewhere else.

I am working on a Rails 6.1 application, and would like to understand the deployment options. By default, the application was generated with the Puma gem. Do I need to make any changes for production deployment on an Ubuntu 20.04 server (on AWS) with Apache2? I don't have a choice in this configuration (Ubuntu 2.04 and Apache).

Do I need Passenger, or is Puma OK?

Side note: what's a typical VirtualHost configuration file for a Rails 6.1 application?
