When will EdgeDB be production ready? Also will it handle large scale deployment with Fail-Over and Replication?

We plan to release 1.0 in a month or two. The upcoming beta 3 (in 1-2 weeks) will be the last beta before the RC. That said, EdgeDB is already stable and solid thanks to the amazing Postgres that we're building it on top of. It's definitely ready now to play with and learn.

> Also will it handle large scale deployment with Fail-Over and Replication? Built-in support for that is coming, but it's already possible to run EdgeDB on top of Amazon RDS, for example. Ultimately EdgeDB is built on top of Postgres, so it will support replication and fail-over and many of the existing deployment strategies.

  Do you ever intend to replace it with a custom backend? Just asking due to the article yesterday that said the only way to start is with an abstraction over an existing RDBMS, but could potentially evolve later.

  For me to use EdgeDB with RDS I would need to compile it [1]. But I don't think this is recommended usage of EdgeDB and there isn't enough documentation on using EdgeDB with an external postgres instance. I see that I could use: edb server --postgres-dsn But I guess you'll release more docs on using EdgeDB with external instances soon, maybe before 1.0 release.

    edb server is mostly a development-mode proxy to edgedb-server, which is the actual server binary and supports the same options. The Docker image README [1] has some documentation on the supported options.
