Blog post from LogRocket
ChartDB is an open-source, web-based database diagramming tool designed to simplify the visualization and management of database schemas through interactive diagrams. Notable for its ease of use, ChartDB offers features like instant schema visualization with Smart Query, AI-powered SQL export for database migration, and platform-agnostic accessibility without requiring installations or credentials. It supports popular databases such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, and ClickHouse, and provides flexible usage options, including a hosted web app or self-hosting via Docker or Node.js. Users can create database diagrams by importing schemas as JSON files and interactively edit and annotate them within the tool. Additionally, ChartDB allows for AI-powered SQL export, enabling seamless migration between different database systems, and offers capabilities for sharing and embedding diagrams. While relatively new compared to established tools like DBeaver, ChartDB’s intuitive interface and innovative features make it a valuable resource for data analysts, developers, and business professionals aiming to enhance data storytelling and visualization.
