Databases Design

The Right Database Means an Effective Application

Database design is not as simple as it seems. It requires deep knowledge of database theory itself, object-oriented analysis and design, and database tools.

Softarex engineers have extensive experience in developing relational databases and NoSQL databases for working with different data. We begin designing the database by examining the objects with which the future software will interact, defining all types of data, constraints, rules for converting and manipulating data.

Database development at Softarex includes the following stages:

Conceptual design

Collecting, analyzing, and preparing data requirements. At this stage our engineers:

Analyze data information structure.
Identify all data parts. Each part is characterized by user view, information objects and connections between each other, and processes over information objects.
Model and integrate all views.

At the end of the stage, we get a conceptual model invariant to the database structure. It is often represented as an entity-relationship model.

Logical design

On this stage we conduct transformation of data requirements into data structures. As a result, we get a DBMS-oriented structure of the database and specifications of application programs. At this stage, databases are often modeled in relation to various DBMSs and models comparative analysis is carried out.

Physical design

Defining data storage features, access methods, developing SQL procedures, stored procedures, triggers and views

It allows us to develop always scalable and reliable databases with fast access to data.

Extensive analysis and design before development
Deep knowledge of relational and NO SQL databases

Alexander

Lead Software Engineer

I’ve been with Softarex since the very beginning of my career. Today, I occupy the position of Java Lead Software Engineer. Apart from my core responsibilities — software development and the team management — my job also entails the development of project technical documentation and system analysis. I am passionate about learning new technologies and strive to apply my knowledge to projects. I also do my best to add additional value to the company by sharing my experience with younger Software Engineers to help them grow and improve their skills.

System Architect and Delivery Manager

My main responsibility as a Delivery Manager is to make sure that a product is delivered on time and within budget. To achieve that, I seek to create an encouraging environment for the team, where everyone can improve their skills, feel appreciated and, thus, produce greater value. The use of Agile tools and techniques helps me organize the teamwork more effectively and transparently. Throughout my career, I have also been actively architecting, designing, and implementing software solutions — mostly web and desktop applications — for the Healthcare, Manufacturing & Energy industries that help companies and organizations ‌streamline day-to-day business operations.
