What's this blog post about?

EdgeDB Inc., founded four years ago, has released the fourth version of its database, EdgeDB 4.0, along with launching EdgeDB Cloud. The company is proud of its vertical integration and has been optimizing EdgeDB for cloud efficiency since day one. The new EdgeQL query language enables convenient and virtually limitless composability in queries. EdgeDB also offers a developer experience advantage through its seamless connection to the cloud and easy installation process. EdgeDB 4 introduces full text search support, an integrated authentication solution, more powerful "if" expressions, and multi-ranges. The new FTS feature is designed to be flexible and can work with external search engines like Elastic in the future. The integrated auth extension offers email/password authentication or OAuth authentication with various providers, along with a built-in login UI that can be branded to match an app. The company plans to continuously evolve EdgeDB Cloud and ship updates on a regular basis, with a free tier coming soon. Their vision for EdgeDB Cloud is to build a fast, reliable, and enjoyable data platform suitable for apps and services at any scale.
