interesting idea, good on them for trying something different in the Ruby ecosystem. The website is quite extensive, but the gem only has ~1.5k downloads. It’s presumably very early on the adoption curve

At a previous employer we did this with our docs repo. The public docs site was managed and deployed via a private GitHub repository, and we had a public GitHub repo that mirrored it. The link between them was an action on the private repo

I live in Melbourne (on Jemena’s distribution network) and this isn’t my experience. Our power is very reliable and rarely goes out. Every few years a car hits a pole or something and we get a brief period of quiet time

I'm not the author but I work at the same company. None of our systems require perfect ordering of IDs generated across our distributed system. Most of the system was built with random UUIDv4 identifiers so no code assumes the ID order
