EdgeDB 1.0 has been launched as the first open-source, graph-relational database, designed to improve the developer experience by addressing the limitations of traditional SQL databases. Built on PostgreSQL, EdgeDB introduces a modern, expressive query language called EdgeQL, which simplifies data relationships and navigation without verbose joins. This new model aims to eliminate the object-relational impedance mismatch while maintaining the performance of the classic relational model, making it ideal for modern application development. EdgeDB offers a rich type system, a declarative schema, a built-in migration system, and extensive support for client libraries in popular programming languages, enhancing developer productivity. The database also features a comprehensive CLI and a native JavaScript/TypeScript query builder, promising a seamless integration into modern programming languages. With plans for a rapid release cycle and a forthcoming cloud service, EdgeDB aims to provide an advanced and efficient database solution for contemporary application needs, backed by positive feedback from early adopters.
