oded valin: 5 Ways to implement NOT EXISTS in PostgreSQL
When building an application, usually we query our database to retrieve the things we already know: what orders a client made or, more generally, what steps in the app flow have already been taken. However, to correctly address the user journey, it is often more important to query the database and retrieve data that informs us about what is missing: an item not yet in the basket, a missing email confirmation, or a pending payment. Understanding and addressing these missing steps is crucial to optimize the user experience and to drive app adoption.

Christopher Winslett: Using acts_as_tenant for Multi-tenant Postgres with Rails
Since its launch, Ruby on Rails has been a preferred open source framework for small-team B2B SaaS companies. Ruby on Rails uses a conventions-over-configuration mantra. This approach reduces common technical choices, thus elevating decisions. With this approach, the developers get an ORM (ActiveRecord), templating engine (ERB), helper methods (like number_to_currency), controller (ActiveController), directory setup defaults (app/{models,controllers,views}), authentication methods (has_secure_password), and more.
