ChartDB for MongoDB? Imagine Visualizing Your Document Structure - We Want Your Thoughts!

Working with Data Developer Tools

Hello MongoDB Community!

I’m one of the creators of ChartDB, an open-source tool designed to visualize and interact with database schemas. Right now, it’s optimized for relational databases (RDBMS), helping users easily map out table relationships and schemas. You can check out the project on GitHub.

We’re interested in exploring MongoDB support, but we recognize MongoDB’s document-oriented, hierarchical structure is quite different from the flat schemas we’re used to in RDBMS. I’d love your input to understand if and how a tool like ChartDB could be valuable for MongoDB users.

Specifically:

  • Would a schema visualization tool for MongoDB be useful to you?
  • If so, how would you imagine it working given MongoDB’s hierarchical data structure? What key features or visualization elements do you think would add value?

If there are any pain points in visualizing or managing data structures in MongoDB, it would be incredibly helpful to know! I’d also appreciate any ideas you have for navigating these structural differences between MongoDB and RDBMS.

Thanks in advance for your feedback. Your insights will help shape our approach as we consider MongoDB support for ChartDB.

Hi @Julia_Oppenheim, Thank you so much for reaching out! I’d love to connect and hear your insights on data modeling with MongoDB. I appreciate you taking the time to offer your perspective.

I’ll send you a DM on LinkedIn to coordinate, so we can arrange a time that works for both of us. Looking forward to the conversation!
