🚀 Leveraging around_commit for Transaction-Dependent Logic

Use around_commit to wrap logic that must run only after a successful DB transaction. This ensures that side effects (e.g., external API calls) occur only when the transaction actually commits. You can yield to the block to execute the transaction and then perform post-commit work.

class Order < ApplicationRecord
  around_commit :notify_shipping_service, on: :create

  private

  def notify_shipping_service
    yield  # runs the DB transaction
    ShippingService.enqueue(self.id)
  end
end

This pattern avoids race conditions by deferring external calls until after commit. You can also use on: :update or :destroy to scope it further.
