Scaffolding Business Domain Models with Dynamic Schemas

Scaffolding Business Domain Models with Dynamic Schemas

Short summary

Omnismith uses an Entity-Attribute-Value (EAV) model to enable runtime schema modifications without database migrations. The architecture splits domain modeling into Attributes (field definitions), Templates (reusable schemas grouping attributes), and Entities (instantiated records). While EAV introduces query complexity, Omnismith abstracts it behind a unified search interface supporting filtering, sorting, and pagination.

  • •EAV-based dynamic schema allows runtime model changes without migrations
  • •Three components: Attributes, Templates, and Entities
  • •Tradeoff: more complex SQL queries, abstracted behind a unified search interface
