Is Azimutt actively maintained?
Development is ongoing. The repository recorded 6 commits over the same window, and the last three months alone account for 4 of them.
Activity is accelerating: the last quarter carried 100% more commits than the one before it.
No tagged releases are published, so there is no stable version to pin to — you would deploy from the default branch or a container image built from it.
Azimutt ranks #17 of 21 tracked database management projects. Several better-maintained options exist in the same category — they are listed below.
What Azimutt actually does
Azimutt is a self-hosted tool designed to help you visually explore, document, and analyse complex database schemas and their underlying data. It targets messy and large database structures, providing a graphical interface to make sense of relationships and extend them as needed. The software is distributed under the MIT licence and built with Elixir and Node.js.
Best fit: It is a suitable fit for developers and database administrators working with large, undocumented, or legacy databases who need a graphical overview to understand table relationships.
Worth knowing: The project lacks tagged releases and has a slowing maintenance health score, which could present risks regarding long-term bug fixes and security patches.
Deployment notes
Since it is packaged as a Docker image using Elixir and Node.js, you will typically need to run it behind a reverse proxy for TLS termination and ensure any persistent configuration or state is mapped to a dedicated volume.
