Supporting Additional Services about activestorage HOT 5 CLOSED

The plan is for Active Storage to ship with all the features in the box, like Active Record. But also, like Active Record, adapters for additional services should be done as external gems. Active Record ships with adapters for SQLite/MySQL/PostgreSQL in the box. Then everything beyond that is a gem. I'd like to continue with that.

For me, the adapters that make sense in the box for Active Storage is disk/s3/gcs/azure. OpenStack can be the first additional gem. Feel free to use activestorage-openstack as the name for that.

Ok, I'd prefer it bundled, but I understand your position. 😀 Either way we can still provide the value to others.

Do you have a sense of how you'd like to make others aware that third-party services exist?
Would you be interested in a PR for a "How to write a service" section for the README? Creating these services seems to me like it will be a little more common than writing an Active Record adapter. New cloud services seem pretty common.

Sounds good.

My thought is to write the document in the style of a guide and include it in this repo for the time being. Then when the project is moved over to the main rails repo, we can move it into the guides folder. Does that work for you?
