Hi there! This is Yury, a co-founder.<p>We've been busy for a while building EdgeDB Cloud and now it's finally here.<p>EdgeDB Cloud is pretty cool and takes full advantage of our database. You get declarative schema, strict typing throughout, great performance, a query language that's best of GraphQL & SQL, and many many other perks.<p>The Cloud itself is quite unique because of EdgeDB. Our query language gives you composability - so you can fetch everything for your page or API endpoint in one network request. And our protocol and client libraries give you auto recovery on network errors, automatic transaction retry, built-in transparent connection pooling, and many other benefits.<p>Check out the blog post where we explain it all. And watch the currently ongoing YouTube Premiere of the launch!
EdgeDB is by far one of my favorite startups in the developer tooling scene, and even though I don't get to use it actively on my day job am still watching it with awe from outside.<p>My only humble question is whether the lack of a "dynamic" query builder for Python will continue when the TS had it for so long? I understand the point of Python typing not being expressive enough to support this, but it's a language problem and I don't think EdgeDB should be the one trying to solve it. I'd love if I can just write my queries within my business logic directly and iterate without any sort of delays as opposed to writing them somewhere else (creating new files), generating the APIs, trying something, and repeating this whole process when I want to change anything.
The product itself seems pretty polished at this point -- I think the next phase for EdgeDB will be the more "social" challenge of getting a critical mass of real-world users.<p>EdgeDB seems to know this, which is why a large chunk of this video is devoted to outside users talking about what they're building.
I've been using EdgeDB for a while now and love the developer experience, congrats on the launch!<p>In your Keynote someone talked about ReScript which is new to me, what is the relationship between ReScript and EdgeDB? Is it just a replacement for Typescript?
I can't believe how rapidly EdgeDB is developing. Like they just offhandedly mention "oh, by the way, any string column can be made full-text-searchable -- just use this kind of index."
You mentioned that EdgeDB's query language combines the best of GraphQL and SQL. How it achieves this, and what advantages it offers over traditional query languages?
