Ok, this comes at a right time.. I was just starting a new project and considering Neo4j. I think it is unfair to compare it to Postgres but the EdgeQL make it look like the nested queries are easy to execute and comes with graphql support too. SO are there any pointers to how much production ready it is? How does it compare to raw SQL queries and nested queries? thanks. Also could not find much on authentication and authorizations. are there any pointers/

EdgeDB is very close to be production ready. We will release 1.0 in a month or two and we're based on Postgres, so the hardest part of storing the data reliably is there already. EdgeQL queries are typically way shorter than corresponding SQL equivalents. You can see comparisons and benchmarks here in this blog post: https://www.edgedb.com/blog/edgedb-1-0-alpha-1 https://www.edgedb.com/blog/edgedb-1-0-alpha-1 Authentication currently is very basic. We plan to have a relatively short release cycle, so in 3-4 months after 1.0 we'll have more robust access control, including read/write policies of individual types and their properties/links.
