orb data modeller

orb is a platform for data-first development.

It's the first of its kind: collaborative data modelling from design to code generation with strong focus on team-based development.

data modelling

Collaborate to create your data model. Seamlessly handle referencing, constraints, typing, and of course documentation.

The data model defines what your data is, how it's accessed and changed, and by whom.

orb uses version control to track all changes, and lets you collaborate in reviewing changes, branching and merging, and all tasks you expect from version control.

Learn more about data models and version control.

edit data model — Edit your data model from any browser on any device. You can also upload configurations directly.

control user access — Control which users have access to your data models, and which users can commit changes to branches of the model.

compare models — View side-by-side differences between arbitrary configurations.

merge requests — Create requests for merging data that need to be signed off by other members of your team. These merges can then be reviewed, signed off, and selectively merged.

change history — See the history of changes and how those changes were merged (and who merged them) into individual branches.

code generation

Once your data model is working for you, export the code that implements it as an API or database schema. orb generates well-documented, easy-to-review source code.

The generated code fully implements your data model. Want to change your data model? Do it, then export again. No need to get caught up in SQL or consistent parameter typing: let orb take care of it for you.

security auditing

orb systems integrate role-based access control into all aspects of code generation—from data exporting to operations. Roles are created and managed as part of your data model and assigned at run-time by your application.
