Mini Twitter Relational Schema architecture diagram

About This Architecture

Mini Twitter relational schema with six core tables modeling users, tweets, interactions, and social connections. USERS table stores profiles with authentication and metadata; TWEETS links to users and supports media; TWEET_COMMENTS and TWEET_LIKES enable engagement; FRIEND_REQUESTS and FRIENDSHIPS manage social graphs with status tracking. This normalized design demonstrates foreign key relationships essential for maintaining data integrity in multi-user social platforms. Fork and customize this schema on Diagrams.so to adapt it for your own social networking application or study relational database design patterns. Consider indexing user_id and tweet_id columns for query performance at scale.

How do you design a relational database schema for a Twitter-like social media platform?

This ER diagram shows a normalized schema with USERS as the core table, TWEETS linked by user_id, and engagement tables (TWEET_COMMENTS, TWEET_LIKES) referencing both tweets and users.
