FirstAfterCreatedAt, a tool for using binary search to search by created_at.

Assuming you have an autoincrimenting primary key id and a id-sorted created_at column, you can use this gem to quickly search for items by time.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'first_after_created_at'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install first_after_created_at

ModelName.first_after_created_at(Time.parse('2017-01-01'))
=> #<ModelName:0x007f86fe7017c8 id: 1234, created_at: Sun, 01 Jan 2017 01:23:45 +0100
