EdgeDB is a relatively new database that offers a unique set of features, including polymorphic data modeling, access policies for advanced authorization modeling, and password and social authentication. It's built on top of PostgreSQL and comes with a type-safe TypeScript client, a built-in UI for writing queries, viewing data, and visualizing the application's data schema. EdgeDB is designed to be easy to use and provides tools such as SDL, EdgeQL, and an ORM to simplify database management. The database also supports authentication through an opt-in system, passwordless auth, and social authentication. Its ease of use, combined with its powerful features and productivity-boosting tools, make it an attractive option for developers looking for a modern and developer-friendly database solution.
