   Everything is open source and we explain what the command will do. And on the Install page there are manual installation instructions + we have a docker image. How else can we improve things?

   Yeah, we'll have it all for EdgeDB too.

   No, this isn't supported, sadly. We might support this mode eventually, but the ETA is unknown.

   Off the top of my head: EdgeQL grammar is relatively complex and we need SELECT to disambiguate in many corner cases.

   I'm not intimately familiar with that particular piece of history, unfortunately (I'll read more about it for sure). There were many examples in the past of great tech (like smalltalk or network dbs) that didn't exactly succe

    You do joins when you traverse schema type paths in EdgeQL, it's just that the actual joins are implicit (well, compared to SQL): SELECT User { email, preferences: { name, value } } FILTER .id = '...&

    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 correspo

    Cloud & enterprise solutions. There are a few reasons why RethinkDB failed; there's an excellent blog post written by the founder. I think there are many areas where we are quite different: - We are building on top of Postgres, so

    It handles them just fine. Any single EdgeQL query always compiles to just one SQL query under the hood. We wrap nested hierarchy levels subqueries in array_agg and our binary protocol is designed in such a way that unpacking the results is

    We've spent years in R&D mode working on the data model, the query language, APIs and architecture to make sure that everything clicks together to create one vertically integrated, cohesive, and language agnostic solution. Everythi

    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
