PostgreSQL, often regarded as the world's most advanced open-source relational database, is experiencing an accelerated adoption momentum due to its truly open-source nature, extensibility, and robustness, which are rooted in its origins as a research project at Berkeley. Its design allows for custom data types and operators, making it a versatile multimodal database that efficiently handles various data formats, including JSON and spatial data. The database's widespread adoption has led many startups to pursue PostgreSQL compatibility, and its infrastructure has been adapted by companies like AWS Aurora to enhance storage capabilities. In the midst of this, EdgeDB is rebranding to Gel, aiming to simplify and clarify its identity while maintaining its mission and team. Gel introduces compatibility with SQL and plans to enhance its integration with the PostgreSQL ecosystem, drawing parallels to TypeScript's incremental adoption success in the JavaScript community. As part of the rebranding, Gel will continue to provide the same tools and libraries, emphasizing its seamless integration capabilities for software and databases.
