EdgeDB VS Google Cloud Datastore

A new DB, with a new query language that's like "SQL done right"? This immediately reminded me of EdgeDB: https://edgedb.com/ Is there anyone here who knows enough about these two products to do a compare/contrast? - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

See also https://edgedb.com/ which is another relational database without sql. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

>relational no-sql Do you mean something like edgeDB?[0] Or do you mean some non-declarative language completely? I don't see the latter making much sense. The issue with SQL for me is the "natural language" which quickly loses all intended readabilty when you have SELECT col1, col2 FROM (SELECT * FROM ... WHERE 1=0 AND ... Which is what edgeDB is trying to solve. [0]https://edgedb.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago

You have to do your own optimiser to avoid, for instance, the N+1 query problem. (Just Google that, plenty of explanations around.) Many GraphQL frameworks have a “naive” subquery implementation that performs N individual subqueries. You either have to override this for each parent/child pairing, or bolt something on the back to delay all the “SELECT * FROM tbl_subquery WHERE id = ?” operations and convert them... - Source: Hacker News / about 2 years ago

In that case use Cloud Datastore (aka Firestore in Datastore Mode). It's a NoSQL db that was initially targeted just for GAE (you needed to have a GAE App even if empty to use it) but that requirement has been relaxed. Source: about 1 year ago

As u/SierraBravoLima said - If you don't really need containerization, you can go with Google App Engine (Standard). If you need to store data, GAE will work with cloud datastore which has a large enough free tier. Source: about 2 years ago

Datastore mode had its start in App Engine's early days (launched in 2008), where its Datastore was the original scalable NoSQL database provided for all App Engine apps. In 2013, Datastore was made available all developers outside of App Engine, and "re-launched" as Cloud Datastore. In 2014, Google acquired Firebase for its RTDB (real-time database). Both teams worked together for the next 4 years, and in 2017,... Source: about 2 years ago

Database: datastore should be very cheap, or you could just output as csv text and copy into Google Sheets (free!). Source: over 2 years ago

Extensive working knowledge in several cloud-based data management services like Amazon web services (AWS) cloud (EC2, Lambda, etc.), Oracle Cloud, Google cloud database, MongoDB, IBM db2, etc. Source: almost 3 years ago
