New Livestream – Application vs. Database: Who Actually Owns Your Data Model?

Anna Rovinskaia

Updated on July 11, 2024.

On July 11, 2024, we hosted our IntelliJ IDEA Livestream episode with Andrey Belyaev, where we were exploring code-first and database-first approaches to creating applications and learn how to work with both in IntelliJ IDEA.

Session abstract

Let’s embark on a thought experiment – you need to create a new application to track the population of rare animals. What would be your first coding move: CREATE TABLE species (...) or class Species? Whichever it is, you’ll eventually need to synchronize changes between the database table model and application code.

In this session, we will dive into both the code-first and database-first approaches. We’ll explore the pros and cons of each method and discover the tools IntelliJ IDEA offers to satisfy both perspectives.

Asking questions

Andrey will try to answer all of your questions during the session. If we run out of time, we’ll publish the answers to any remaining questions in a follow-up blog post.
