Run Rails commands outside of console

There are two main ways to run commands outside console:

1. Rake task which depends on :environment

2. rails runner (previously script/runner), eg:

   $ rails runner "query"
   

Both are pretty well documented on the rails guide: https://guides.rubyonrails.org/command_line.html#bin-rails-runner

Both of these methods will still take the same time as a console to fire up, but they are useful for non-interactive tasks.
