Turning Database Schemas into Diagrams & Docs — Open for Early Feedback
Source: Dev.to
Databases are one of those things that every dev touches but very few are comfortable explaining — especially when you inherit a project or join a new team.
Between outdated ER diagrams, missing docs, and tribal knowledge passed over Slack, understanding a schema can feel like a scavenger hunt.
What I’m Building
The idea is simple but solves a real pain point for backend developers:
- Paste your database schema (SQL / Prisma / DDL)
- Instantly get:
- Interactive ER diagrams
- Plain‑English schema explanations
- Living documentation
- Version history and change tracking
- No live database access. No credentials. Just schema → clarity.
Your code already is the source of truth — why shouldn’t the documentation match it automatically?
Who This Helps
- Backend engineers working with complex schemas
- Teams onboarding new developers
- Freelancers and agencies documenting client projects
- Anyone who dreads reading a giant DDL file
Why I’m Sharing This
I’m building Vizora in public and want feedback from developers who actually deal with schemas day‑to‑day. Before locking in features or pricing, I’d love to hear:
- What frustrates you about schema documentation?
- What tools do you currently use (if any)?
- What would make your life easier?
If this sounds like something worth giving feedback on — or if you want early access — drop a comment here or over on LinkedIn:
