Rails 7: How to efficiently handle bulk inserts while maintaining model callbacks?
I've searched everywhere and can't find a clear answer..... I'm working on a Rails 7 application where I need to perform bulk inserts of records into the database. However, I want to ensure that my model callbacks, like `after_create` and `before_save`, are still triggered for each record. I attempted to use `insert_all` for performance reasons, but I noticed that it's bypassing all ActiveRecord callbacks and validations, which is not what I want. Here’s a simplified version of what I’ve tried: ```ruby class Item < ApplicationRecord after_create :send_notification def send_notification # logic to send notification end end ``` When I run the following code to bulk insert: ```ruby Item.insert_all([{ name: 'Item 1' }, { name: 'Item 2' }, { name: 'Item 3' }]) ``` I find that the `send_notification` method is never called, and I receive no notifications for these items. I also considered using `create!` in a loop, but that feels inefficient and defeats the purpose of bulk inserting. It leads to important performance optimization when dealing with large datasets. Is there a recommended way to perform bulk inserts that still respects the model callbacks? Should I look into alternative methods or perhaps a gem that allows for optimal performance while preserving ActiveRecord's behavior? Any insights would be greatly appreciated! Any help would be greatly appreciated! My development environment is Ubuntu. I've been using Ruby for about a year now. For reference, this is a production CLI tool. Thanks for your help in advance!
