EdgeDB is super efficient in its communication with the postgres backend. Most of the time there's only one roundtrip for any query. So chances are, because of how you can pipeline many operations in EdgeQL into one single query, the latency is still going to be far better than a typical ORM+Postgres combination. That said, we're working on our cloud, all hands on deck. There you wouldn't have any additional latency.
