Where does Ruby On Rails save data?

Question

I'm new to Rails and am going through their "getting started" tutorial on their website which leads you through making a blog. When I write a blog post it's saved to a database with @article.save. Anytime I go onto the website, I can see any of the past blog posts I have made so the data must be stored somewhere. I was wondering where specifically in the blog folder this is stored at.

The data is saved in sqllite3 database locally.

You can find this file in <app-folder/db/<env>.sqllite3.. For example, development.sqllite3

The database configuration is typically present <app-folder>/config/database.yml. file. By default, you will see below settings in it.

default: &default
  adapter: sqlite3
  pool: 5
  timeout: 5000

development:
  <<: *default
  database: db/development.sqlite3

Just to expand on this, I've found sqlite browser to be a useful tool for playing around with the database, for example if you need to modify certain records.
