ChartDB Cloud – Visualize and Share Database Diagrams

Hacker News

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 Would love feedback - especially from teams dealing with messy schemas or outdated docs. https://app.chartdb.io
