How to Use Azure Blob Storage with Ruby on Rails

Azure Blob Storage is an object storage service that is very similar to AWS S3. ActiveStorage from Rails has built-in support for both ActiveStorage and S3 for file storage, making it easy to integrate and even swap out providers. The Honeybadger Blog has already explored using S3 for file storage in Rails, and in this article, we'll explore using Azure to allow users to upload files in a Rails application.
