Yes, it's in the works!

Not yet, but theoretically we might support something like Timescale in the future.

Not really, there's no point in using prisma with EdgeDB as our own query builder is more idiomatic for our product, faster, and we gape more capable. See also this reply by Colin: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3

GraphQL doesn't have any syntax for expressions, like 1+1 is inexpressible with GraphQL. Once you add support for arbitrary expressions, functions, etc you start departing from GraphQL to something that looks surprisingly similar to Ed

Yeah, indeed, Hasura uses json_agg, which is similar but returns you a JSON string. We use array_agg, so we often avoid data serialization altogether. Our binary protocol just lets the data messages pass through with the original binary enc

I'll cite my other comment from this thread: OrientDB positions itself as a multi-model NoSQL database. Where's EdgeDB positions itself as a relational database and a successor of SQL.

We fully manage the underlying SQL schema for you, it's abstracted away (which will allow us to pull some tricks when we eventually introduce live schema migrations). I haven't worked at Facebook so I'm not super familiar wit

I'm not too familiar with the CoreData API, but from a quick googling it seems like this is some sort of an ORM on top of SQLite. We position EdgeDB as a database server, not a library, partly because you can interact with it from diff

Thank you :)

Working on that!

Yeah, we also blogged about this extensively. Here are are some links: Pointed critique at SQL: [1] Benchmarks: [2] and [3] We'll be adding a dedicated benchmarks page to our website soon. [1] https://www.edgedb.com/blo

We plan to introduce a tool for assisting migration from SQL databases, but at this very moment, the only way to migrate an existing app is to re-create your DB schema in EdgeDB and then write a script to import the data. EdgeDB right now

Oh, EdgeDB is so much more than "basically an ORM layer". I suggest to scroll to the bottom of our home page edgedb.com and read the dedicated FAQ entry. I just don't want to restate the entire explanation here.

Keep in mind that EdgeQL is a query language that can be used from any programming language (either over the official libraries, or over HTTP). Functional JS-inspired dialects aren't appealing to everybody.

We'll take a look, should be a quick fix.

by 1st1 5y ago
Potentially, but not in time for 2.0 (which should happen in just a few months).

by 1st1 5y ago
IIRC Dgraph is schemaless. EdgeDB is schema-first, which gives you type-safety and that amazing TypeScript query builder autocomplete experience :)

Thank you! Working EdgeDB requires 0 SQL knowledge, you are not going to ever use it again. To quickly learn EdgeQL I recommend our online interactive in-browser tutorial: [1] We also have a book, it's called Easy EdgeDB, check it out

EdgeDB is built on top of Postgres. The performance critical bits are either Python compiled to C with Cython or Rust, so there's almost no Python overhead. We perform quite favorably in benchmarks, see our old blog post with some: ht

Good catch! A fix will be deployed in a couple of minutes :)

As far as I'm aware OrientDB don't call themselves "graph-relational". In fact, they're positioning themselves as a multi-model NoSQL database. Where's EdgeDB positions itself as a relational database and a suc
