Diffrence between after_create and after_commite in Rails

They are not interchangeable. The key difference is when the callback runs. In the case of after_create this will always be before the call to save (or create) returns.

Rails wraps every save inside a transaction and the before/after create callbacks run inside that transaction (a consequence of this is that if an exception is raised in an after_create the save will be rolled back). With after_commit your code doesn't run until after the outermost transaction was committed. This could be the transaction rails created or one created by you (for example if you wanted to make several changes inside a single transaction).

Example:
after_create only works once - just after the record is first created.
after_save works every time you save the object - even if you're just updating it many years later
So if you want to do this email operation only just the once (and then never again) then use after_create
If you want to do it every time the object is saved, then do it in after_save

The after_commit and after_rollback callbacks are guaranteed to be called for all models created, updated, or destroyed within a transaction block. If any exceptions are raised within one of these callbacks, they will be ignored so that they don’t interfere with the other callbacks. As such, if your callback code could raise an exception, you’ll need to rescue it and handle it appropriately within the callback.
