I have a class called CachedObject that stores generic serialized objects indexed by a key. I want this class to implement a create_or_update method. If an object is found it will update it, otherwise it will create a new one.
Is there a way to do this in Rails or do I have to write my own method?

Rails 6 added an upsert and upsert_all methods that deliver this functionality.
Model.upsert(column_name: value)
[upsert] It does not instantiate any models nor does it trigger Active Record callbacks or validations.
