Overview

Azimutt is a comprehensive, all-in-one tool designed to simplify the often-complex tasks of understanding, designing, documenting, and optimizing databases. It caters to a wide range of professionals, from developers and architects to data analysts and product managers, by providing a unified platform that adapts to their thought processes. The core of Azimutt lies in its ability to generate scalable Entity-Relationship Diagrams (ERDs) that avoid clutter, allowing users to selectively display tables, columns, and relations relevant to their current focus. This feature is particularly valuable when dealing with very large and intricate database schemas where traditional ERDs become unreadable.

Beyond visualization, Azimutt empowers users to design databases efficiently using its minimal, intuitive, and permissive Azimutt Markup Language (AML). This DSL enables rapid prototyping and modification of database structures at typing speed. Furthermore, the tool includes robust documentation capabilities, allowing users to add contextual notes to tables and columns, and even layout memos for visual indications. An integrated database linter automatically points out inconsistencies and suggests improvements, ensuring schema health and consistency. Azimutt also boasts broad compatibility, natively supporting relational and document databases, with extensibility through JSON, making it a versatile choice for diverse technology stacks. Its sharing features allow for embedding diagrams anywhere or securely sharing them, fostering collaboration and knowledge transfer within teams.
