  • edgedb/edgedb

    EdgeDB is a graph-relational database that combines the best features of relational databases, graph databases, and ORMs. It replaces tables with object types and links, making schema modeling more intuitive. The database supports a strict type system, indexes, constraints, computed properties, stored procedures, and additional features like link properties and JSON support. Its query language, EdgeQL, produces structured objects instead of rows, allowing easy fetching of related objects. EdgeDB is not just an ORM; it offers a complete database solution with a migrations system, client libraries, a command line tool, and upcoming cloud hosting capabilities. Resources for learning and getting started are provided, including a quickstart guide, an interactive tutorial, an illustrated e-book, and comprehensive documentation. Contributions are welcome, and the project is licensed under Apache 2.0.
