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Would love feedback - especially from teams dealing with messy schemas or outdated docs.
