As answered by people managing Structa and Azimutt.
Structa's answer
Structa is for:
Full-stack and backend developers
Indie hackers building MVPs
Startups who want to move fast without compromising their backend
Anyone who’s tired of debugging AI-generated schemas
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 ^^
Structa's answer
Structa was built by a solo founder frustrated with constantly fixing broken SQL from ChatGPT. The goal was simple: create a tool that understands real database design patterns, handles the heavy lifting with AI, and gives developers full control via visual editing and clean exports.
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 ❤️
Structa's answer
TypeScript
Next.js
PostgreSQL
Prisma
Supabase
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.
Structa's answer
Structa is built specifically for one thing: AI-powered database design. Unlike generic AI tools, it generates normalized schemas with proper relationships, constraints, and clean exports — then lets you iterate visually without starting over. It's the only tool that combines prompt-based generation, drag-and-drop schema editing, AI validation, and 1-click Supabase deploy.
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!
Structa's answer
Structa delivers production-grade schemas — not broken SQL with hallucinated relationships.
It’s faster and safer than ChatGPT or Claude.
It replaces the messy workflow of copying between LLMs + dbdiagram + editors.
You get clean code, visual editing, and real deploys — all in one place
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.
Structa's answer
Structa is still in early growth — but is actively used by:
Indie hackers
Backend engineers at early-stage startups
Developers building internal tools and SaaS products
Azimutt's answer:
Azimutt is used at Doctolib (3000 people company) and some other french scale ups I can't disclose yet.
