Overview

Azimutt is an open source database schema exploration, design and documentation tool. It renders entity relationship diagrams for large, complex schemas, lets you search and navigate across tables, columns and relations, and connect to explore live data across relational and NoSQL databases, all from a single web application. Diagrams can be laid out, annotated and grouped so a schema that would otherwise be an unreadable wall of tables becomes something a team can actually read and reason about together.

It suits engineers who inherit a large or unfamiliar schema, teams that want living documentation of their data model instead of a diagram that goes stale the day it is drawn, and anyone exploring a database's structure and data side by side before writing a migration or a query.

Why the cloudimg image

cloudimg ships Azimutt as a complete appliance rather than a container you have to wire up yourself: the application and its own PostgreSQL metadata database are installed, configured and running behind nginx within a minute or two of first boot, ready to sign in and start exploring a schema. Security is designed in for a tool built to connect to your databases: there is no seeded administrator and no known credential of any kind. On first boot, before the web port is reachable, every instance generates its own application secret and its own PostgreSQL password, then creates a unique administrator account through the application's own sign up code path, so the account and its workspace exist exactly as a real sign up would produce them. Azimutt's own sign up page normally accepts anyone, so cloudimg also locks it to a random per instance suffix known only inside the machine's own root only credentials file, closing the open registration path that could otherwise let a stranger seize a freshly launched instance. The base is fully patched with unattended security updates enabled, and every image comes with a step by step deploy guide tested against the exact build and 24/7 cloudimg support.

Common uses

  • Making sense of a large or unfamiliar database schema through an interactive entity relationship diagram
  • Keeping living, searchable documentation of a data model instead of a diagram that goes stale
  • Exploring live data across relational and NoSQL databases from one web app before writing a migration or query
