The document introduces ActiveDomain, an experimental ORM that aims to implement SOLID principles. It discusses issues with current ORM implementations, such as separation of concerns and efficiency. ActiveDomain uses plain Ruby objects and a unit of work pattern to address these issues. It maps domain entities to repositories and allows persisting objects to a database independently of the specific database. The document provides examples of using ActiveDomain to define a User entity with a has_many association to posts and persisting objects to a database. However, it notes that associations are not fully implemented yet and more work is needed before ActiveDomain is ready for use.
