EdgeDB is a relational-graph database combining the structure of SQL databases with the flexibility of graph databases. Instead of storing relationships as foreign keys and resolving them with JOINs, EdgeDB treats relationships as first-class citizens. Schema example: User has Posts. Post has Comments. Comment has Author (User). Query: Get user + all their posts + all comments on those posts. In PostgreSQL = 4 JOINs. In EdgeDB = natural path traversal: user.posts.comments.
