What is Schema?
A blueprint that defines the structure of your data, including fields and their types
Why It Matters
Schemas ensure data consistency and help catch errors before they cause problems
Real-World Example
A user schema might specify that email is required and must be a valid email format
“Understanding terms like Schema matters because it helps you have better conversations with developers and make smarter decisions about your software. You do not need to be technical. You just need to know enough to ask the right questions.”
