Which command should be used to precompile Rails assets before a production deployment?

Odpowiedź

The rails assets:precompile command compiles all assets (JavaScript, CSS, images) into optimized files with fingerprinting for cache busting. This step is essential before any production deployment to ensure assets are ready to be served efficiently. The RAILS_ENV=production variable ensures compilation uses production settings.

In which file does Rails 7+ store encrypted credentials for production?

Rails 7+ uses config/credentials.yml.enc to store secrets in an encrypted manner. This file can be committed to the repository since it is encrypted with a master key. For specific environments, Rails also supports config/credentials/production.yml.enc with its own decryption key.
