Back in Episode #106, we configured and deployed to a very simple AWS Beanstalk environment. However, in this episode, we take things a bit further and explore security groups, an existing database and redis service. Also, there are a few changes that we have to do in order to get Rails 6 working within Beanstalk.

We look at 4 different ways to add Bootstrap v5 to our Rails application. Depending on your application's direction, you may choose the appropriate route; Webpacker, the Bootstrap gem, CDN or Hotwire + yarn.

In this episode, we look at setting up a Rails 7 API (only) application and create our own authentication solution. We'll also write the tests around the different controller endpoints that we create to make sure that we have good test coverage and functionality.

In this episode, we explore the practical use of Campfire Bots for webhook applications. We'll start by setting up an AI Image Generator bot that interacts with our Ruby on Rails application, and then connect it to a self-hosted Large Language Model (LLM). Our initial goal is to get the system working. After that, we'll focus on refactoring the code to improve its safety and maintainability.

We may come across a need to run shell commands and Ruby has some built in methods which appear safe, but can introduce major security risks.
