If you are looking to explore and understand your database (relational or document), Azimutt is the tool you need. It's the first entity relationship diagram built to handle big database schema (up to 1000 tables) with dedicated features: search, find path and even schema analysis to keep it consistent.
Azimutt Docsify.jsDocsify.js is recommended for projects that require straightforward, no-fuss documentation with minimal setup and configuration. It's especially suitable for small to medium-sized projects, open-source libraries, or internal documentation sites where real-time updates and markdown simplicity are valued. Developers who prefer working with markdown and need a tool that allows them to quickly get documentation up and running will likely find Docsify.js to be an excellent choice.
Azimutt's answer
Azimutt is mainly targeted at developers working with databases, allowing them to easily explore and understand them by either importing the schema or connecting to a live instance.
As it's quite easy to use, we have seen other profile such as product owners, engineering managers and even CFOs using it to better understand the product they build or extract meaningful data on their own ^^
Azimutt's answer
Early 2021 I joined Doctolib, a health startup very successful in France, and discovered their big Ruby on Rails monolith backed by a large PostgreSQL database with more than 700 business tables (more then 1300 in total). As an architect I worked with several teams and needed to understand their models but neither Ruby, Rails or the structure.sql were very helpful for such a big app. So I looked for a tool but they all failed with such a large database, so after a few month and tens of tools tested, I decided to build my own: Azimutt. Now it has evolved a lot and we are still very active to enable new usages every months. I believe it's a solid product and quite unique โค๏ธ
Azimutt's answer
From development languages, Azimutt is built with Elm/TypeScript for the frontend, Elixir/Phoenix for the backend and PostgreSQL/S3 as storage.
Azimutt's answer
It's the only ERD able to handle databases with many tables (>1000) nicely thanks to unique features:
It's also very unique in the sense it's made to explore and understand real world databases, from development to production with larges features:
Thousands of developers already love it, give it a try, we have several samples you can try right away!
Azimutt's answer
Azimutt is the all-in-one app to explore real world databases. If you look for very specialized features some competitors may be more suited, but if you want a versatile app to explore and understand your database, we believe no competitor come close to us.
Azimutt's answer
Azimutt is used at Doctolib (3000 people company) and some other french scale ups I can't disclose yet.

I just want to get a basic overview quickly. An old colleague of mine created an interactive web app that does this. We use it internally and I find it super useful. Supports SQLite, among others: https://azimutt.app/. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
Hello Dev.to community, I'm Sam, a proud part of a dedicated trio that built Azimutt.app. - Source: dev.to / about 3 years ago
A couple of options here: - From a database. Generate ERD by connecting to your database directly. I've used this as a quick way to generate a diagram from my local or even QA DB (not prod DB for obvious security reasons). - From a schema dump file. Take a pg dump and then generate an ERD from the dump file. There are ERD tools like dbdaddy.dev and azimutt.app that support these options. Source: over 3 years ago
I had wanted to use Gitbook for blog/wiki[0] but then discovered that it's not opensource anymore. After not finding anything for a long while finally found something close that will work for me: Docsify[1]. Docsify is git-backed but not a static site generator. Instead it reads the markdown as-is and renders to HTML/DOM (don't know the details) in the browser. I had 2 problems with it, first the sidebar... - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago
I built a fast, responsive, and lightweight static documentation site powered by Docsify, hosted on AWS S3 with a CloudFront CDN for global distribution. The entire infrastructure is managed using Pulumi YAML, allowing me to declaratively define and deploy resources without writing any imperative code. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year ago
Okay new plan, does anyone know how to do this docsify on github? I obviously am a noob on github and recently on reddit. I'd like to help where I can but my knowlegde seems to be my handycap. I could provide you a trash-mail, if you need one, but I need a PO (product owner) to manage the git... I have no clue about this yet (pages and functions and stuff). Source: almost 3 years ago
Good idea. Instead of bookstack, I recommend something like Docsify The content is all in Markdown and can be managed in a git repo. Easy to deploy the whole website to any simple static HTTP server - or even Github pages. This way you can review contributions and have good version control. Source: almost 3 years ago
The tools to author it aren't that important, frankly. Ask your audience what they're most comfortable using and try to meet them there. If the stakeholders are technical, you have more options. If they aren't, I hope you like Google Docs or Word, because if you give them anything other than that or a PDF, they'll probably complain. At worst, yeah, write it in a long Markdown text file and use tools like pandoc to... - Source: Hacker News / over 3 years ago
