How it works

Model your data as early as possible and put the Data Flow First approach into action

1 - Model your data

Describe a data model that you can then associate with APIs and messages

Type Modeling

Describe a business model in all its richness (entities, fields, relationships, constraints, metadata, etc.) and explore it graphically.

Definition of Facades

To be usable, a type model must be adapted to its context of use (API or message for example). Akwaype's facades allow you to retain only the necessary types and fields and eventually modify their organization or names

Reuse of facades

Customized properties

Nomenclatures, tags ...

Immediate detection of errors

2 - Document and share your data model

Use existing reports/extractions or create new ones to share your models with the stakeholders involved in your projects

Develop and test your reports/exports

Duplicate, modify existing Akwatype report/extractions ((HTML, plantUML, SQL, JPA...) or create new ones completely adapted to your context.
Use all data model metadata, including the custom properties you've added to extend Akwatype's capabilities

Use them in the Data editor and Data Explorer

Publish them in the editor and/or graphical explorer for use in the user interface,
or download them for any other purpose

3 - Model your flows

Describe your services to map your flows and then generate your OpenAPI definitions and graphic representations

API Description

Define your resources and routes to describe your synchronous exchanges. Associate facades to your routes to link them to your data model

Messages description

Define your messages and topics to describe your asynchronous exchanges. Associate facades to your messages to link them to your data model

Full description of flows (exposure and consumption of routes)

Security schemes

Publish / subscribe of messages

4 - Generate your OpenAPI and AsyncAPI definitions

Leverage the real-time compiled model of your data and flows

OpenAPI generation

Generate your OpenAPI definitions to export the description of your synchronous flows (API) in a standard way
