Overview
We translate your application's entities and workflows into tables, keys, constraints and indexes, choosing normalization levels that balance data integrity with the queries the app will run most often. The design covers naming conventions, data types, soft deletion or audit fields where useful, and how the schema can evolve through migrations. You receive an entity-relationship diagram, migration or DDL scripts for your database engine, and documentation explaining key design decisions.
