Azimutt VS MySQL Workbench

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 ❤️

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:

• layouts to see only the relevant tables (not all are useful for everyone)
• smart search everywhere

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:

• database design with an intuitive DSL
• database documentation, on any table, column or layout (markdown text and tags)
• database analysis to make sure best practices are in place
• innovative data exploration

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.

• if you have more than 50 tables, there is no match, you should be amazed by Azimutt features built for large databases
• if you want to mix data exploration and schema exploration, it's also very unique
• if you care about open source, visit our GitHub
