About SqlDBM

SqlDBM is a commercial, browser-based data modeling platform for collaborative teams. Users design database schemas visually in the browser and generate SQL for cloud data platforms including Snowflake, Databricks, BigQuery, Azure Synapse and Amazon Redshift, with no desktop installation required.

The current platform goes beyond diagrams. It adds an AI copilot, semantic models, global modeling standards, model governance and schema monitoring for Snowflake, framing the data model as the context that analytics teams and AI tools depend on. Integrations with Confluence and Jira connect models to the documentation and tickets teams already use.

SqlDBM is delivered as a hosted service, with a pricing page, a security page and a changelog on the vendor's site. It suits data teams that work on cloud warehouses and want shared, governed models rather than diagram files stored on individual laptops.
