EdgeDB employee here. We're beyond excited to finally publish a stable release of EdgeDB after 4 years of active development and 15 pre-releases. Happy to answer any questions on here!

The live presentation is happening right now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRZ3o-NsU_4

Very interested in what data engineers think about this project!

I am not a developer, but the founders (including Yury Selivanov, Python Core Developer, see also https://github.com/MagicStack) and the fact that these people have been investing in the project for four years already, make me think that EdgeDB can be an important project for the database world!

EdgeDB co-founder Yury here. Ask me anything :) Live launch stream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WRZ3o-NsU_4

Hey Yury, Cool stuff!

How do you folks solve the large amount of joins that are the result of graph queries? Any worst-case-optimal multi-way-join secret sauce :D?

Also, with DBs like Datomic competing in the same area, do you have an immutability/versioning story?

Thanks! The secret sauce is to pack nested shape queries into array_agg-ed SQL subquery. So we never select unnecessarily wide rows.

I love the feature set. Great work! Hard to believe this is the first major release. Are you guys planning to add C# client support?

Thank you. The feature set is indeed pretty deep. We are going to have a C# client for sure, but I don't have any ETA yet. FWIW you can interact with EdgeDB over HTTP!
