Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Datadef

What types of diagrams can I create?

Datadef specializes in data architecture diagrams. You can create data flow diagrams, pipeline visualizations, database schemas, data lineage maps, KPI dashboards, and system architecture diagrams. Each diagram uses data-specific components like tables, pipelines, data sources, and KPI indicators.

How does the AI diagram generation work?

Simply describe your data architecture in plain English. For example: “AWS e-commerce with PostgreSQL database, Redis cache, S3 storage, and Lambda functions for order processing.” Our AI analyzes your description and generates a complete diagram with properly connected components, styled nodes, and intelligent layout.

Can I edit AI-generated diagrams?

Yes! All AI-generated diagrams are fully editable. You can drag nodes, add new components, modify connections, change colors, add metadata, and adjust the layout. The AI gives you a head start, but you have complete control to refine and customize everything.

What export formats are supported?

You can export your diagrams and metadata to JSON format, which includes all nodes, edges, positions, styling, KPI formulas, lineage relationships, and wiki documentation. This makes it easy to version control your diagrams, integrate with other tools, or backup your work.

Do I need technical knowledge to use Datadef?

Not at all! Datadef is designed for both technical and non-technical users. If you're familiar with your data systems, you can create professional diagrams. The drag-and-drop interface is intuitive, and the AI generation feature means you can describe your architecture in plain language without knowing diagramming conventions.

How does version control work?

Every canvas has automatic version control. Your working version is continuously auto-saved. You can publish snapshots at any time to create immutable versions. You can always restore your working canvas from any published version, making it safe to experiment and easy to track changes over time.

Can I collaborate with my team?

Yes! You can create projects and invite team members. Each project can have multiple canvases, and team members can view and edit diagrams, add wiki documentation, define KPIs, and track data ownership together.

Is my data secure?

Absolutely. All data is encrypted in transit and at rest. We use industry-standard security practices and don't connect directly to your databases. You describe your architecture and document it visually - we never access your actual data sources or store sensitive information.
