# Attachments associate records with blobs. Usually that's a one record-many blobs relationship,
# but it is possible to associate many different records with the same blob. If you're doing that,
# you'll want to declare with `has_one/many_attached :thingy, dependent: false`, so that destroying
# any one record won't destroy the blob as well. (Then you'll need to do your own garbage collecting, though).

  # and then destroy the attachment itself.

  # Purging an attachment means purging the blob, which means talking to the service, which means
  # talking over the internet. Whenever you're doing that, it's a good idea to put that work in a job,
  # so it doesn't hold up other operations. That's what +#purge_later+ provides.
