RailsDatabaseAwait
This gem was created to solve the problem when you might have to wait until the database is ready before continuing.
For example when running migrations in a kubernetes job while using Google Cloud SQL Auth Proxy as a sidecar.
Installation
Install the gem and add to the application's Gemfile by executing:
$ bundle add rails_database_await
If bundler is not being used to manage dependencies, install the gem by executing:
$ gem install rails_database_await
Usage
bundle exec rails db:await
Configure the number of times we should be trying to connect to the database by setting the DATABASE_AWAIT_MAX_TRIES
(Defaults to 30).
Configure the number of seconds to wait between each time we try to connect to the database by setting the DATABASE_AWAIT_WAIT_TIME
(Defaults to 1).
For example; To wait for the database to be ready before running migrations we can just do:
bundle exec rails db:await db:migrate
