Towards Principled, Practical Document Database Design
Summary: Advocates a principled, data-first, conceptually grounded approach to document (JSON) database design—bringing ER/relational-style logical design to NoSQL to yield clean, query-friendly schemas. Provides a practical design process and catalog of common JSON anti-patterns from real deployments. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
