Database Architecture Kit
A reusable relational schema foundation built for real workflows — clean relationships, integrity rules, and analytics-ready reporting tables. Designed to scale without turning into a “database mess.”

Schema + reporting layer
The problem
Many systems start with a few tables, then features are added quickly — and suddenly there’s duplication, inconsistent naming, unclear relationships, and reporting becomes painful. The goal here was to define a clean data foundation that stays consistent as the product grows.
The solution
The Database Architecture Kit provides proven schema patterns you can reuse across projects: products, orders, customers, inventory movements, and a reporting layer designed for analytics. It’s built for correctness first — then for performance and reporting.
Key features
- Clear entity design: products, variants/SKUs, customers, orders, items
- Integrity rules to prevent broken relationships and “ghost rows”
- Normalized structure for predictable updates and clean joins
- Optional reporting tables for fast dashboards
- Scales across use cases: e-commerce, internal tools, inventory systems
- Designed to support auditing: timestamps, status changes, traceable history
Architecture
This kit separates operational tables (day-to-day transactions) from reporting tables (pre-aggregated metrics for dashboards). That avoids slow queries and keeps your UI fast.
Core entities
- products
- skus / variants
- customers
- orders
- order_items
- inventory_movements
Reporting layer (examples)
- metrics_daily
- metrics_monthly
- top_skus
- stock_alerts
- profit_summary
Outcome
A schema foundation that makes future work easier: adding features doesn’t break reporting, analytics queries stay readable, and the system remains consistent across modules and teams.

If your app needs clean data, reporting, and long-term maintainability, I can design the schema and structure it properly from day one.
