EdgeDB (rebranded as Gel in 2025) is an open-source object-relational database built on top of PostgreSQL that combines a modern graph-relational data model with a powerful query language called EdgeQL. It provides an HTTP-based EdgeQL query API and a GraphQL API, allowing developers to query their database over standard HTTP using bearer token authentication. EdgeDB Cloud offers a fully managed hosting service with free and paid tiers, integrating with platforms such as Vercel, Netlify, Fly.io, and Railway. Client libraries are available for TypeScript, Python, Go, Dart, Rust, .NET, and Java.
