How Rad fits together

The few ideas worth knowing before you build with Rad.

Rad starts with your application's data model and keeps the database and generated client aligned with it.

The normal loop

rad.schema.yaml
  -> rad schema migrate
  -> generated client
  -> application

You edit the schema, review the change, migrate the database, then use the updated client. The database checks that a generated client belongs to the schema version it connects to.
