Detect non-atomic interactions within DB transactions

Github

Overview:

Isolator is an innovative tool from the Cult of Martians designed to enhance the management of non-atomic interactions within database transactions. It’s particularly useful for developers looking to ensure the reliability and stability of their applications by detecting bad practices like implicitly enqueuing background jobs. Installed as a Ruby gem, Isolator aims to operate seamlessly within your testing and staging environments, requiring minimal setup to start functioning immediately.

This gem is built with several features that cater to various development stacks and interactions, providing options for advanced transaction handling and clear visibility into potential issues. Whether you're working with ActiveRecord or require support for different ORMs, Isolator aims to provide a versatile solution for detecting possible missteps in database operations.

Features:

  • Non-Atomic Interaction Detection: Identifies and flags non-atomic database interactions, ensuring that developers write safer, more reliable code.

  • Test Environment Awareness: Automatically detects the test environment, adjusting its error-raising behavior accordingly for better integration with transactional tests.

  • Plug-and-Play Installation: Isolator begins working right after being required in your application, offering an easy and quick setup.

  • Configurable Callbacks: Provides various callbacks that allow developers to inject custom logic or create extensions tailored to their application's needs.

  • Dynamic Adapter Management: Supports enabling and disabling built-in adapters based on project requirements, promoting flexibility in handling different scenarios.

  • Support for Multiple Databases: The gem includes experimental support for multiple databases, broadening its utility in more complex applications.

  • Handling False Positives: Offers methods to ignore certain offenses, helping minimize the noise of unnecessary alerts when using complementary libraries.

  • Robust Adapter Support: Compatible with numerous adapters like Sidekiq, Resque, and more, ensuring that it integrates well within existing setups.
