Database First

Database First is a software development approach where the database is created before any application code. In this method, developers design and set up the database structure, including tables and relationships, to accurately reflect the data needs of the application. Once the database is in place, developers generate application code that interacts with it. This approach ensures that the application aligns closely with the existing data model, making it easier to manage and scale. It’s particularly useful when the database requirements are well understood from the start, focusing on data integrity and efficiency.
