Hackolade is the pioneer for data modeling of NoSQL and multi-model databases, providing a comprehensive suite of physical data modeling tools for various NoSQL databases. It also applies its visual design to big data serialization formats and protocols, and REST APIs.

What is data modeling for NoSQL?

To leverage the strengths of NoSQL technology , you are encouraged to denormalize and embrace a query-driven approach to your schema design in order to match the data access patterns. As opposed to the traditional application-agnostic approach of normalized relational databases.

What technology targets are supported by Hackolade?

NoSQL databases, Big Data/Hadoop, REST APIs: MongoDB , Neo4J , Cassandra , BigQuery, Couchbase, Cosmos DB, DynamoDB, Firebase, Firestore, Elasticsearch, HBase, Hive, MarkLogic, Amazon Neptune, Snowflake, TinkerPop, etc.. and also Avro , Joi Schema, JSON Schema, Parquet, Swagger and OpenAPI, plus is rapidly adding new targets.

Benefits

Leverage the power of visual data modeling software

Evaluate alternatives, recognize potential hurdles early to reduce rework later. Facilitate troubleshooting and evolution to respond to growth and customer needs.

Facilitate data governance

Compensate for the usual lack of documentation and native referential integrity of NoSQL databases.

Companies with privacy-related data in NoSQL databases can use Hackolade to demonstrate their proper handling with just a few steps: reverse-engineer their databases, identify attributes and fields concerned, generate documentation, then monitor daily that compliance is maintained.

Engage the dialog between analysts, architects, designers, developers, and DBAs

Data structures and relationships don't have to be buried in application code. They can also be available to the teams for a 360° view of the system landscape.

Powerful tool to document

your NoSQL schemas

Friendly user interface

Visual model navigation

Graphic collection tree view editing

Specifically designed for JSON and the nesting of sub-objects
