🚀 Launch Week Day 4! Gel 6.0 brings two major improvements for production environments - query performance logging and in-place upgrades. These address some of the features most requested by our users. Read more below 👇

Query Performance Log: Track execution stats via sys::QueryStats. Tag queries with custom identifiers like `createClient().withQueryTag("myapp/feature")` and use our new UI to identify performance bottlenecks.

In-place upgrades: No more full dump and restore cycles for major version upgrades. Gel 6.0 compartmentalizes internal structures, allowing multiple versions to coexist without touching your data. Future upgrades will have minimal downtime.

🚀 Launch Week Day 3: Developing with Gel 6.0. Today, we're covering EdgeQL improvements and CLI enhancements for better database development.

⚡ New watch mode in the CLI! Now you can: • Watch glob patterns and trigger commands • Generate code when query files change • Keep your schema and queries in sync automatically Configure it all in your gel.toml file 👇

All these improvements add up to one thing: Gel gives you the power of PostgreSQL with the developer experience of a modern programming language ✨ Full details: www.geldata.com/blog/gel-s-n...

🪝 Introducing Hooks in the CLI! Run scripts automatically responding to schema changes, branch switches, or project initialization. Perfect for: • Code generation when the schema changes • Loading fixtures on initialization • Running tests after schema updates

✨ Quality-of-life improvements: • String interpolation: select '\(greeting), \(who)'; • Complex types like unions and intersections can now be used inline in more places • More flexibility and expressiveness in your queries

🙋 Why the rename? "Gel" is easy to say, easy to type, and it embodies how we see our platform: flexible and cohesive. "Edge" suggested we're for edge computing or a pure graph database, but we're neither.

we have something for you 😊

Which one is more readable, SQL solutions (they are great) or EdgeQL? I'm biased, please help. 👋 (day 4 AoC solution)

Btw, did you know we have a guide on integrating @trpc.io with EdgeDB? 👀 🔗 docs.edgedb.com/guides/tuto...

Silly me. Turns our Advent of Code challenges have two parts in them, and who knew, the second part is harder 🙈 I went back and implemented the second part of the second day challenge. This might be interesting to you regardless of EdgeQL, read if you like math or SQL too. 🧵
