+ +[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.com/edgedb/edgedb.svg?token=74UsunYVsEQ4qRAHz4Ny&branch=master)](https://travis-ci.com/edgedb/edgedb) + + +Disclaimer +========== + +This is a very early technology preview. It is not yet intended to be used +for mission-critical applications. Things may not work, or not work as +expected. Comments and bug reports are welcome. + + +What is EdgeDB? +=============== + +EdgeDB is an **open-source** object-relational database that helps you write +better software with less effort. EdgeDB organizes data as a graph of +strongly-typed objects and provides an expressive query language which allows +to manipulate complex data hierarchies with ease. + +EdgeDB features: + +- strict, strongly typed schema; +- powerful and expressive query language; +- built-in support for schema migrations; +- native GraphQL support; +- PostgreSQL as the foundation. + + +What EdgeDB is not +------------------ + +EdgeDB is not a graph database: the data is stored and queried using +relational database techniques. Unlike most graph databases, EdgeDB +maintains a strict schema. + +EdgeDB is not a document database, but inserting and querying hierarchical +document-like data is trivial. + +EdgeDB is not a traditional object database, despite the classification, +it is not an implementation of OOP persistence. + + +Getting Started +=============== + +If you are interested in trying EdgeDB, please refer to the +[Quickstart](https://edgedb.com/docs/quickstart) section of +the documentation. + + +Documentation +============= + +The EdgeDB documentation can be found at +[edgedb.com/docs](https://edgedb.com/docs). + + +License +======= + +The code in this repository is developed and distributed under the +Apache 2.0 license.
