EdgeDB: A New Beginning

The text introduces a new open-source object-relational database called EdgeDB. It explains that while relational databases are widely used, they have limitations in terms of consistency and complexity when working with data models. EdgeDB aims to address these issues by implementing an object graph model instead of the traditional relational model. The text also provides a brief example of how to define a schema using EdgeDB's schema DSL and demonstrates a simple query in EdgeQL, comparing it to a similar SQL query. Future blog posts will cover topics such as data model and introspection, EdgeQL, polymorphism, schema migrations, and GraphQL support in EdgeDB.
