Hey there—
Managing application data has always meant piecing together half-solutions.
- Database clients offer the flexibility to mirror real-world complexity but lack essential features like validations, structured models, and relationship management.
- CMSs and admin panels provide these features but force you to flatten or reshape your data, compromising the integrity of your application's design.
Neither option truly supports the way we build modern applications.
The real world is complex, nested, and interconnected. Our tools should reflect that.
"Bad programmers worry about the code. Good programmers worry about data structures and their relationships."
— Linus Torvalds, creator of Git and Linux
This simple truth has always resonated with me—and it lies at the heart of why I built Dogen.
When your data structures align with real-world complexity, everything improves:
- Cleaner code
- Faster development
- Fewer bugs
- Seamless integration of new features without massive refactoring
Most tools still haven't caught up to this idea.
That's where Dogen is different.
Dogen combines the freedom of a NoSQL client with the powerful features of a custom CMS:
- Built-in validations
- Structured model schemas
- File and image management
- Relationship handling
- Custom types (email, markdown, color, etc.)
Anything you can model in Firestore, you can manage in Dogen—without writing a single line of custom code.
Nested objects, arrays, vectors, references, blobs—Dogen handles it all, right out of the box.
Imagine managing deeply structured, real-world data effortlessly—in minutes.
With Dogen, you don't have to compromise.
It's a fresh start for application data management—designed to embrace complexity, not avoid it.
I genuinely hope Dogen transforms your development experience.

The Dogen Way
You define exactly what your data should look like—using simple, configurable entity blueprints. Pick your fields. Set their types. Decide if they're required. Its that easy.
When you're ready, you request an update. A few minutes later, you're notified theres an update available. You apply this update in one click, and your GUI is updated.
A fully structured backend, that feels like it was handcrafted just for you. Because it was.
🙅 No custom code. No flattening. No headaches.
✅ Just your real data, organized and manageable, in a few minutes.
💡 Because your backend should update as fast as your ideas.

Deployment Made Simple
Clients are generated and hosted for you, pre-configured with a default connection to their home project—additional connections are supported.
Try Before You Commit
You can try a generated custom client for free, no credit card required.
Get Started with the Demo Client →The Backstory
Before Dogen, my team and I built a payment gateway and credit card vault that handled millions of secure transactions. A key part of the system was a JSON based configuration layer responsible for things like banks, currencies, and country-specific rules. It worked brilliantly.
But managing it was a different story. Building a dedicated management tool kept getting pushed aside for more urgent tasks. As a result, every update required required us to manually edit raw JSON in production. It was risky, stressful, and a poor use of engineering time.
That experience stuck with me. While JSON and schemaless NoSQL databases are ideal for creating rich, complex data models, the tools to effectively manage this complexity haven't kept up. I built Dogen to close that gap, offering structure, validation, and a dependable way to interact with your data.
