Overview
Azimutt is an Elixir-based database schema exploration tool designed to make sense of large and messy real-world databases. It renders interactive ER-diagram layouts, lets users annotate tables and columns, query data in context, and receive automated schema analysis hints. It supports PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, and more via direct connection or schema import. Self-host with Docker or deploy to Fly.io.
Where it falls short of Airtable
- Focused on schema exploration and documentation, not data editing or app building
- No spreadsheet or pivot-table interface
- Collaboration features are basic on the self-hosted edition
- Elixir stack is less familiar to most ops teams
We list the gaps honestly so you can decide if the trade-off is worth owning your data.
