Instantly generate models, polyglot or physical, then edit and enrich them, plus integrate suggestions from GenAI. By integrating AI-generated diagrams with Hackolade Studio’s intuitive modeling, teams can efficiently develop and refine their data models, enhancing collaboration and accelerating the development cycle.

Mermaid is a JavaScript-based diagramming and charting tool that uses Markdown-inspired text definitions. Mermaid uses a simple, human-readable syntax that closely aligns with natural language. Its declarative and visual style allows AI to map conceptual relationships directly into diagram code without needing strict adherence to data types, constraints, or database-specific rules.

ArchiMate is an open‑standard, visual modeling language for enterprise architecture that complements TOGAF by visually representing architecture layers and relationships. At the Application Layer, data objects represent a discrete unit of information implemented, used, produced, or persisted by applications.

Hackolade Studio allows you to generate ArchiMate-compliant files with applications data objects for your Hackolade Studio data models, so they can be imported in specialized tools such as Archi, Bizzdesign Horizzon, Mega, LeanIX, etc.

In addition to many real-time validations and out-of-the box verification rules, users can now define their own verification rules for any string property of any modeling object using regular expressions. With GenAI, it is now super easy to formulate regex sules.

In addition to Innersourcing with GitHub (already supported), we have now made this strategy available for the other Git providers. This trend consists of bringing into enterprises the best practices of the open source community.

With the fork & pull strategy, contributors create their own (remote) copy of the original repository and push changes to that copy, which is referred to as a fork. Once a contribution is ready, it can be submitted through a pull request.

We're opening up the possibility to forward- and reverse-engineer with cloud-based resources despite W3C security restrictions. We started with Avro with Confluent Schema Registry, BigQuery, and Databricks. More will be added as requested.

The CORS configuration Allow-Access-Origin header must allow for the studio.hackolade.com origin to interact with the instance, otherwise the browser blocks any interaction of Hackolade Studio in the browser with the schema registry.

It is possible to import (reverse-engineer) an existing GraphQL API into Hackolade Studio, either by choosing an SDL file, or by performing an introspection from a GraphQL endpoint, to dynamically discover and explore the schema of a GraphQL API.

This feature allows to save data models directly to remote Git repositories without requiring a locally-cloned repo. The feature works well with the Open From feature which allows to open a model directly from a remote Git repository, also without the need for a locally-cloned repo.

With SAP PowerDesigner’s End-Of-Life announced for December 2027, businesses need to act now to avoid operational disruptions and security risks. Hackolade Studio offers a powerful migration path to a modern solution for data modeling of SQL, NoSQL, big data analytics databases, data lakes, and data exchange formats.

A Git tag is a reference pointing to a specific commit in the Git history. Tagging is used to capture a milestone in the Git history, generally to mark a version release (i.e. v1.0.1). Hackolade Studio now supports the creation of tags within the application, as well as listing, review, checkout, push, and delete operations. As well as comparing 2 arbitrary tags.

dbt is a SQL-first transformation workflow that lets teams quickly and collaboratively deploy analytics code following software engineering best practices like modularity, portability, CI/CD, and documentation.

Hackolade Studio facilitates the transformation of data in your warehouse with dbt, by letting you generate the model properties schema.yml for tables in your source and target models.

GraphQL is an API standard that provides a more efficient, powerful and flexible alternative to REST. Creating APIs is not easy! And creating a GraphQL SDL (Schema Designing Language) in a design-first approach can be tedious at best, generally error-prone and frustrating... Hackolade takes a visual and schema-centric approach so you can focus on the content of requests and responses.

With SAP PowerDesigner’s End-Of-Life announced for December 2027, businesses need to act now to avoid operational disruptions and security risks. Hackolade Studio offers a modern, powerful alternative with seamless support for SQL, NoSQL, big data analytics databases, data lakes, and data exchange formats.
