Taavik
Rimini, Italy
What it is
Taavik generates database documentation by scanning schemas, updating documentation as schemas change, and retaining manual notes. It supports PostgreSQL, SQL Server, MySQL, and Amazon Redshift. Each scan records a schema diff, and documentation shows recent changes for database objects. Teams can save and share read-only SQL queries with typed variables, version history, and execution audit records. Saved queries can run on schedules and send CSV or Excel exports to Slack or email. A read-only MCP connector makes scanned schema available to compatible clients including Claude Code, Cursor, and Windsurf. Taavik uses a hybrid deployment: its cloud control plane runs on dedicated virtual machines in the European Union, while database rows stay in the customer's network except when users run queries or schedules. Its on-premise agent runs on Windows, Linux, or Docker. The Free plan covers one database server and two members; Pro costs €39/user/mo. The maker describes Free as suitable for evaluation, freelancers, and small teams documenting one database server.
