EdgeDB combines the simplicity of a NoSQL database with relational model’s powerful querying, strictness, consistency, and performance.

EdgeDB is a relational database that stores and describes the data as strongly typed objects and relationships between them.

EdgeDB is built on top of PostgreSQL, inheriting all its core strengths: ACID compliance, performance, and reliability.

EdgeDB features:
    -strict, strongly typed schema;
    -powerful and clean query language;
    -ability to easily work with complex hierarchical data;
    -built-in support for schema migrations.

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.
