EdgeDB co-founder and CEO here. Ask me anything. We are streaming EdgeDB 2.0 launch event right now, join here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jloGHV31Ow

EdgeDB is looking like a dream db (with batteries included) to me, congrats on the launch!

I wonder if you might wanna join efforts on building your cloud offer with guys at https://neon.tech/ (i'm not affiliated, but I'm waiting for your cloud offering)

I want to build local first software backed by EdgeDB. Similar to these tools: - https://replicache.dev - https://github.com/tantaman/conflict-free-sqlite - https://aphrodite.sh I wonder if EdgeDB provides any utilities to make this already perhaps? Or community has to build some kind of CRDT software that builds on top of EdgeDB that will do local syncing? Maybe that's planned to be tackled for 3.0?

We don't have that yet. Maybe it will be possible to bootstrap EdgeDB to run on top of SQLite, but that will be a ton of work and limit the schema/language. Nothing prevents you from just running EdgeDB or even bundling in your app except packaging that can get a bit hairy.

We'll be closely looking an Neon and we know the team. There are some related things that we have to figure out before investing time into the integration.

I really like EdgeDB so far. Only played around with it for side projects up to this point but with 2.0 and the introduction of Object Level Security I will definiteyl use it in production.

The EdgeQL is the first graph-based query language that is more intuitive to me than plain SQL and the local dev experience has been far smoother than pretty much any other db I’ve used to date. Really excited to see this project mature.

Thank you, we'll keep pushing! :)

Typo: "eliminate the objet-relational impedance mismatch." Well "objet" is French for "object"

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

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

And I bet the team would help with those migration scripts if you asked!

Couchbase-lite seems to do what you're asking. It's backed onto sqlite. It's more sync based than crdt based afaict.
