Overview

What is EdgeDB?

EdgeDB (renamed Gel) is an open-source graph-relational database built on top of PostgreSQL. It replaces the classic tabular model with an object model : data is described by object types with properties and links to other objects, allowing you to traverse relationships without stacking JOINs.

It brings its own query language, EdgeQL (while retaining SQL and GraphQL access), a strongly typed declarative schema, and a built-in migration engine. Modern application components are also included: authentication (OAuth, magic links, passkeys), connection pooling, and GenAI extensions (automatic embeddings, RAG endpoints).

On the ecosystem side, EdgeDB offers official clients for TypeScript, Python, Go, Rust, .NET, Java, and Dart, a typed query builder, and a full UI for schema and data exploration. Since storage relies on PostgreSQL, your data remains exportable to standard Postgres, without proprietary lock-in.

Host EdgeDB at DINAO

No managed container for EdgeDB: this application is installed on a VPS hosted in France (1 vCPU / 1 Go / 5 Go minimum).

Application available on a VPS

This application requires privileged access to the host machine, which is incompatible with managed shared hosting. It is installed on a VPS (virtual private server) that you administer: DINAO delivers it with Docker and the management panel of your choice, and you install and maintain EdgeDB yourself. The VPS is not managed by DINAO unless you add the managed-services option when ordering.

Technical reason: bind-mount d'un chemin hôte (volumes nommés uniquement en managé).
