What is Entu

Entu is a no-code object database — a system for storing, organising, and querying structured data without writing migrations, schema files, or backend code.

Core Idea

Everything in Entu is an entity. An entity is a record of any kind — a person, a project, a document, a product — defined by the properties it carries. You decide what properties each entity type has by configuring property definitions through the UI. No deploy, no restart.

Properties are typed (string, number, date, file, reference, …), can hold multiple values, and can be computed automatically using formulas that reference other properties, child entities, or related records.

Entities are organised in a parent–child hierarchy. A child can have multiple parents, so the same record can appear in several contexts simultaneously without being duplicated. Access rights (_owner, _editor, _expander, _viewer) are set per entity and cascade down the hierarchy automatically.

The same data model powers the built-in UI — there is no separate admin interface; configuration and content live in the same entity tree.
