Ash Framework: Simplifying Domain Modeling

The Ash framework is a declarative domain modeling tool that allows developers to build up the intent in their system. By modeling resources using Ash, such as database tables or external APIs, developers can take advantage of the suite of tools and configurations provided. Ash can automatically generate a GraphQL API for resources and generate migrations when fields are changed. The framework aims to make it easier for developers to model their domain and have the necessary tools to build the rest of their application.
