-# 🚨 Discontinuation Notice for ActiveRecord 🚨
-
-**Effective Date: August 4, 2024**
-
-Please be aware that we are no longer maintaing the part related to **ActiveRecord** in this gem. We are dropping support for ActiveRecord in favor of [Solid Queue](https://github.com/rails/solid_queue). 
-
-In the meantime, we commit to continously support the Mongoid part of the gem.
-
-### New Recommended Gem: `Solid Queue`
-
-For ActiveRecord users, we recommend transitioning to the `Solid Queue` gem, which provides enhanced functionality, improved performance, and better support for modern application requirements. `Solid Queue` is designed to seamlessly integrate with your existing infrastructure while offering robust features to handle your queuing needs efficiently.

+The Outboxable Gem is tailored for Rails applications to implement the transactional outbox pattern. It currently only supports ActiveRecord.

-### Mongoid
-
-The Outboxable gem works smoothly with Mongoid. It is to be noted that when used with Mongoid, Outboxable does not use the `_id` as the idempotency key. It creates a field called ``idempotency_key`` which is a UUID generated at the time of the insertion of the document.

 ## Development
 
 After checking out the repo, run `bin/setup` to install dependencies. Then, run `rake spec` to run the tests. You can also run `bin/console` for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
