Get to Market Faster, Pivot Quicker, and Ship Features Without the Hassle
Dogen is a no-code GUI for Firebase that makes managing complex data a breeze. It's perfect for startups, small businesses, and indie hackers who want to build and ship features faster and more reliably.
Why Dogen?
Building an app with Firebase (Firestore, Authentication, Storage, Functions) is one of the fastest ways to get up and running. The challenge begins when you need to manage real data. Manually entering fields in the Firestore console becomes slow and error-prone. Customizing admin panels and CMSs takes your team away from product development.

In conclusion...
- One Platform, Endless Possibilities Start with simple data structures—like Accounts, Contacts, or Leads- and add a few Cloud Functions to automate tasks such as sending and receiving emails. Instantly, you have a basic CRM. Need inventory management instead? Define products, stock levels, and suppliers, then connect the logic you need in Functions. With Dogen, the possibilities are endless.
- Faster Development & No-Code Management Dogen's user-friendly interface helps you shape your data any way you need—no downtime or extra developer hours required. This lets you stay focused on delivering real product value faster than ever before.
- Powerful Custom Logic via Document Triggers Integrating Firebase Functions is seamless. Whenever your data changes, trigger custom operations like calling external APIs, processing payments, or validating user submissions. You only write code where it truly matters, keeping your workflow clean and modular.
- Effortless Data Imports, Exports, & Migrations Easily move data in and out of your app with support for JSON and CSV. Run batch jobs to create, update, or delete documents at scale. This makes migrations or onboarding new data sets painless—no custom scripts needed.
- Scale Confidently & Pivot Easily As your startup evolves, your data structures and workflows can keep pace. Add, remove, or reorganize entities and fields without refactoring your entire back end. With Dogen's flexible architecture, you can pivot on a dime, test new ideas, and roll out features without skipping a beat.

The Backstory
Before founding Dogen, my team and I built a payment gateway and a credit card vault that secured millions of encrypted credit card numbers. A key component of this system was a JSON based configuration. It was responsible for vital details like managing banks, currencies, and country-specific rules.
Although we often discussed the need for a proper data management solution, it was continuously sidelined by more urgent features. As a result, I found myself manually updating these critical records in production dozens of times over several years. It was risky, stressful, and time-consuming. Yet this experience planted a seed—there had to be a better way to manage complex deeply nested NoSQL data.
