StackRender

Database Schema Design Tool for Developers

Visit StackRender

StackRender is a database schema design tool that helps developers model databases visually, generate SQL migrations, and keep a record of schema changes as projects evolve. It replaces manual schema management with a migration-driven workflow covering design, versioned migrations, and change history in one workspace.

Core capabilities include an interactive ER diagram editor, SQL import that converts existing schemas into diagrams, an AI Assistant for generating and improving schemas, automatic schema diffs, and rollback script generation for migrations. It is available as StackRender Cloud, a browser-based edition requiring no installation, and StackRender Community, a self-hosted open source edition for developers who want to run it on their own infrastructure.
