For TypeScript, tRPC mostly just works out of the gate, if I understand the question fully.

Probably Python won't get a typesafe query builder until it catches up with its typing to TypeScript. Right now in Python the generics are quite rudimentary, there's no equivalent to TypeScript's keyof or mapped types. We&#

True. In our case it's not that simple. By resisting adding SQL early on we were able to advance our data model & schema without SQL holding us back. And now we've added SQL in such a way that it takes full advantage of our st

We give you 1GB of space for free. I think you can fit three or four branches in that. But we'll announce a cheaper tier this week (spoiler!) with the same amount of disk space.

Not in the immediate future, but we have a member in our community who's building something. We'll see if they get near the finishing line.

> How does this compare to solutions like Supabase. Supabase is great and works well if you want vanilla (more or less) Postgres with some integrations ready to go. With Gel you get a Postgres with a data layer on top. If you want to h

Having worked with the core team I can only say that they are amazing. I'm sure they'll figure it out, but database tech is gnarly. Takes time.

Perhaps. The trouble usually arrives when you need functionality that your specialized database doesn’t have. Then you end up maintaining two databases and spreading your data, business logic, and resources between them. To each their own,

We'll be fixing them shortly. We're rolling out a new documentation system. Apologies for the inconvenience.

We're shipping a slow query log UI in this version to continuously monitor queries in your system. Our users do get performance issues, usually because they start really using our data model to its full potential, creating tens /

EdgeQL stays EdgeQL :) I like that name. I also liked EdgeDB (I'm biased, I coined that name myself). But at every conference we had the same conversation with developers: "EdgeDB? Huh, must be an edge-computing database. Are you

In the just released new version we've added SQL support, so now you can use SQL taking full advantage of our data model (access policies, mixins, etc) and the network protocol (automatic recovery on network & transaction error, au

Addressing your core question: Drizzle is a great ORM with a tastefully designed API—it's clearly a product of love. But it’s still an ORM, and it’s confined by certain design boundaries that come from being a library. For example, wha

Good question. We’re indeed similar products. Gel is somewhat similar to Supabase on the surface—both run on Postgres, both have Auth, and both offer AI features, a CLI, and a UI, among other similarities. However, there’s a big difference

Yeah, we'll be repairing this shortly. FWIW we're completely revamping our documentation, it's almost a full rewrite, focused on bringing clarity and logic to the navigation, improving search, etc. We should fully wrap it up

FWIW I tried doing AoC for a few days with EdgeQL, and the experience proved to be quite interesting. Some of my tweets (I should write a blog post): - https://x.com/1st1/status/1864069589245858083 - vs SQL https
