A Path to a 10x Database

The text discusses the development of EdgeDB, a next-generation relational database based on PostgreSQL. It features a novel data model and an advanced query language. The mission of EdgeDB is to provide users with more power, freedom, and confidence when working with data. Some key features include efficient data serialization, support for common application protocols, data security via policy enforcement, built-in schema migrations, and a versatile library of standard types, functions, and operators. The design principles of EdgeDB emphasize usability, performance, and correctness. The text also provides examples of how the database interacts with client languages and systems. A roadmap page on edgedb.com is mentioned as a resource for tracking the project's status and development plans.
