Product Hunt reported that the tool instantly converts database schemas into editable entity-relationship (ER) diagrams with a single query. Hacker News noted that ChartDB helps developers understand and work with complex database structures by making them easier to visualize. The tool is designed to make database exploration and design more intuitive and shareable.
Summary
ChartDB is a tool that helps developers visualize database schemas, making it easier to understand and work with complex database structures. The tool appears to be focused on database management and development workflows.
Me and Guy (@guyb3) built ChartDB to generate ER diagrams from your database without a need of any database access (via query/sql/dbml). We started with an open-source version, and after seeing a lot of use we decided to make a cloud version.
Our OSS launch (1y ago) - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41339308
Now we’re launching ChartDB Cloud - built for teams:
- Embed ERDs into docs, dev portals, or Miro/Notion etc.
- Collaborate in real-time (with live cursors like Figma)
- Keep diagrams always in sync with your database
- Organize large, messy schemas without pain
- Export DDL in multiple SQL dialects (solved deterministically)
- AI assistant to brainstorm and generate new schema objects or schema changes
We designed it so working with databases feels less like a chore and more like a creative process.
Would love feedback - especially from teams dealing with messy schemas or outdated docs.
