Structure your data modelling right from the start of your projects to communicate, describe your data flows and feed your development teams
Data modelling is no longer just about databases. It underpins the design of the whole system, particularly when it comes to designing APIs and events using a design-first approach. Our aim is to provide project teams with practical, efficient tools for modeling data and designing APIs/Events at a very early stage in the project.
In the early stages of a project, data is very often described using office tools (spreadsheets, graphic presentation tools, word processing, etc.). These tools are ill-suited to the task and are of no help in ensuring the consistency of the descriptions, which quickly become difficult to master. Finally, a great deal of work is required to make these descriptions usable by the development teams.
With Akwatype, the data description is framed from the outset, can be used to communicate with the various project stakeholders and can be used directly by the development teams..
The applications in your domains cooperate by relying on API. The Data Flow First approach puts data and flow modeling first. For a more agile design of your projects.
Use a shared data model that is independent of your applications.
Design your APIs and Events on a common base to ensure the consistency of your flows.
Reuse your components efficiently to design new APIs or their evolutions
Data types, properties, nomenclatures, examples... Build your data model, explore it graphically, share and validate the model with all project stakeholders
Services, API, channels, messages, publish/subscribe... linking APIs and messages to the data model. Describe your flows and explore them graphically with the dynamically generated flow charts.
Automatically create documentation and contracts in standard OpenAPI and AsyncAPI formats directly from Akwatype
Exploit the full potential of your data model by using Akwatype's integrated freemarker editor to generate your own reports and extractions
IT Architect / Developers
They model the type model, the facades and the services in collaboration with Data and Business Analyst. They feed the development process
with the generated OpenAPI descriptions.
Data Analyst / Business Analyst
They participate in the definition of the type model as well as in the validation of data
exposed by the APIs and events (messages).
They use Akwatype graphs and exports to better understand the structuring of the flows and the transported data
Project Manager
They orchestrate the collaboration
around the design process of
of APIs and messages.
It has at any time a detailed and coherent documentation on the data exchanges of its project.
