Today marks the end of an era for me. My last Rails app on Heroku has left the platform and was deployed with NoPAAS with Kamal. It was a Rails 6.2 app, but first, it was upgraded to Rails 8 with NoBuild.

I have just cut a new version of the chroma-db gem, the @trychroma Ruby client.

Version 0.8.2 fixes an issue for the collection query method allowing where and where_documents params to be nil.
