When do you think it will be possible to migrate an existing Postgres database to EdgeDB?

Congrats to the team, looking forward to testing out the new changes! I'd love to see some examples on non-trivial schemas realized in EdgeQL for reference.

I'm going to start writing some case studies soon about how various companies use EdgeDB in prod. I'm sure we'll spot some interesting schemas and patterns to share :)

Automatically - we might have some built-in scripts in time for 3.0. You can migrate manually now by writing some sql/edgeql scripts.

For the rust client, is there any plan to introduce a query builder and/or generated typing? Currently it feels very sqlx like which is ok for some, but I prefer to have a bit of typing.

Yes, we want to have query builders for all languages. If you love Rust and have time to contribute we'd love some help. Figuring out a great QB Rust API might take some time.

Currently watching the launch event! :)

I took a look at the low level stuff, compiled it and tried breaking it and pushing it to the limits. It's quite stable, something that you would expect from a Python Core developer as a founder.

My only concern is that the actual `edgedb-server` CLI isn't documented at all.

EdgeDB seems more popular in NA and Europe. See https://ossinsight.io/analyze/edgedb/edgedb

Yes, we'll have it. We need to implement proper extension system to be able to integrate GPL-licensed extensions. On our todo.

Haha, thanks so much!

`edgedb-server --help` is pretty elaborate, but yeah, we don't have an official page. What kind of info are you looking for?
