DERA v1.0.0 — First Stable Release

Understand Every Schema. Engineer Every Change.

DERA is an open-source initiative focused on deterministic database engineering, schema inspection, and reverse analysis.

Version 1.0.0 marks the project's first stable-release milestone, subject to final implementation, security, compatibility, and release qualification.

What's Included

Project Foundation

• Structured repository architecture and development conventions.
• Open-source contribution and community governance.
• Maintainer and security documentation.
• Established development workflows.

Developer Documentation

• English documentation and multilingual project resources.
• Architecture and contributor guidance.
• Documentation validation and consistency checks.

Development Security and Quality

• GitHub Actions continuous integration.
• Pull request validation workflows.
• CodeQL and dependency security checks.
• Release qualification and recovery procedures.

Backend and Database Engineering

The stable release will include only the backend and database functionality verified as complete at the release commit. Planned capabilities include:

• FastAPI application infrastructure.
• Typed API contracts and error handling.
• PostgreSQL platform persistence.
• Authentication and workspace authorization.
• Background job processing.
• Logging, configuration, and observability.
• Read-only database connector architecture.
• PostgreSQL and Supabase PostgreSQL metadata inspection.

Any capability not passing final acceptance must be removed from this section before publication.

Design Principles

DERA is designed around:

• Deterministic engineering operations.
• Explicit, testable database metadata contracts.
• Secure, read-only inspection of external databases.
• Clear auditability and reproducible results.
• No dependency on AI models, LLMs, or external AI APIs.
