ER Architect: diagrams that read the database
An MIT-licensed, self-hosted ER diagram editor that reverse-engineers PostgreSQL and MySQL databases into editable models.
Field notes
The project is organized around keeping a relational model tied to database reality rather than maintaining a manually edited image. Its described workflow includes reverse-engineering tables, columns, keys, indexes, and constraints, then comparing the result with production before a release. The page also separates physical and conceptual views for different roles, and points readers to a deployment guide, user guide, and public GitLab source repository.
