Eric Anderson (<a href="https://twitter.com/ericmander">@ericmander</a>) has a conversation with Yury Selivanov (<a href="https://twitter.com/1st1?lang=en">@1st1</a>), the co-founder of EdgeDB. EdgeDB is the world’s first “graph-relational database.” It’s a term coined specifically for this new type of database, designed to ease the pain of dealing with the usual relational and NoSQL models. And no, EdgeDB is NOT a graph database!
In this episode we discuss:
<ul>
 <li>A glitch at EdgeDB’s Matrix-inspired launch event</li>
 <li>Origin of the term and design philosophy, “graph-relational”</li>
 <li>What to know about becoming a Python core developer</li>
 <li>How EdgeDB’s next-gen query language compares to GraphQL and SQL</li>
</ul>
