☒ I didn't see a link to the code base. Did you share it. 

 ☒ I haven't messed around with those options to know if they are making any difference or not. You could always make a custom upload controller, use the new url instead of "this.url" which is taken from the direct upload, and return a variant record. However, you'd still have the full size image stored via ActiveStorage and may need to clean those up periodically.

 ☒ I haven't looked much into this, but with AL2, my guess would be to use the Procfile to declare the service to run. I would probably also look at running the Worker environment type instead of a Web worker. The rest of the config should be pretty similar 

 ☒ Thanks for the catch. I've updated the show notes to reflect this.

 ☒ you might be able to check if the string contains a UUID and escape the generate_slug method.
