TLDR There are many posts and instructions out there describing how the upgrade process should be done. I chose to write this post to describe my upgrade process and emphasise the issues I had to tackle along the way. The issues are not written in the official rails documentation, but hidden in rails’ source code, other gems, stack-overflow questions or other sources. Upgrading the gems was done in 3 chunks, with each including up to 10 gems. After testing locally, the upgrade was tested for a while in a staging environment.via the TL;DR App
