Introduction
ERD Builder Pro is a modern database design tool that integrates Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD) creation with an automatic SQL generator, a Tiptap-based technical notes system, and flowchart and freeform design features using Excalidraw, all in one integrated documentation platform.
Designed specifically for Software Developers, Database Architects, and Technical Teams, this application helps you manage the entire database design lifecycle from visualization to technical documentation without needing to switch between applications.
Why ERD Builder Pro?
- Offline First: Data security is guaranteed with initial local storage in IndexedDB, allowing you to stay productive even when disconnected. Data will be automatically synced to the cloud when you come back online.
- All-in-One Documentation: Combine database schemas, business rules, and application flow diagrams in one workspace.
- High Productivity: Generate SQL code or migrations for your favorite frameworks (Laravel, Prisma, etc.) instantly.
- Full Customization: Store your data and assets in your own cloud infrastructure (Supabase & Cloudflare).
Technology & Libraries
This application is built on a modern technology ecosystem and outstanding open-source libraries:
Core Infrastructure
- Frontend: React + Vite for a fast and responsive interface.
- Backend: Express.js for server logic and APIs.
- Database: PostgreSQL (Supabase / Local) for data storage.
- Storage: Cloudflare R2 for image asset storage.
Core Libraries (Credits)
We thank the developers behind the following key technologies:
- React Flow: Used as the core engine for building the interactive ERD interface.
- Tiptap: A rich text editor powered by ProseMirror for the Notes feature.
- Excalidraw: Used for freeform design (Drawings) and flow diagrams.
Future Roadmap
We are continuously working to develop ERD Builder Pro into an even more powerful tool for developers. Here are some major features planned for the future:
| Feature | Status |
|---|---|
| AI-Powered ERD Generation | ✅ Available |
| Team Collaboration & Role-Based Access | 🔜 Planned |
| Broader SQL Dialect Support | 🔜 Planned |
| Enhanced Export | 🔜 Planned |
| Desktop Application | 🔜 Planned |
| Local Database Runner ⚡ | 🔜 Planned |
| Mindmap | 🔜 Planned |
| API Mapper | 🔜 Planned |
| Task Workspace | 🔜 Planned |
[!NOTE] All the above features are designed to be integrated within a single ecosystem. Mindmap is a place for planning ideas, ERD & Flowchart for structure visualization, Task Workspace for managing execution, and API Mapper for documenting data pathways — all interconnected. With Team Collaboration, the entire team can contribute in real-time.
