Database design is a crucial step in building an app that involves structuring data in an organized way to support app functionality, improve performance, and ensure scalability. The process begins with defining the data and its relationships in a visual model. This model helps in identifying entities and relationships among them. Tables are then created based on these entities with primary keys to uniquely identify each record and foreign keys to establish connections between tables.

I was interviewed on the Silicon Alley Podcast: https://go.xano.co/3Iyr8PT “Prakash Chandran, founder of Xano, joins host William Glass to discuss no code development, productizing an internal tool, and the importance of user journeys. Prakash shares how he and his co-founders took an internal backend development tool and turned it into a commercial product. In addition, Prakash dives deep into user-centric design and how to map the customer journey in order to build a successful product.”
