It's the last day of EdgeDB Launch week! ✨ Wrapping up a thrilling week with a big announcement! Dive into today's reveal: our integration with Vercel and a special surprise for our developer community! 🌐 EdgeDB + Vercel integration Today, we're announcing the seamless integration of EdgeDB with Vercel and GitHub, enhancing your dev workflow with automated DB branches for each new feature branch on GitHub. Simplify development, isolate features, and boost productivity! With GitHub, work on different features with isolated schemas. Push a branch in GitHub? That triggers an EdgeDB branch creation in sync with your migrations. It's smooth, synchronized, and secure! By connecting your Vercel projects, we handle the `EDGEDB_INSTANCE` and `EDGEDB_SECRET_KEY` environment variables for you. Creating a branch on GitHub prompts EdgeDB to set up a corresponding database branch and the correct `EDGEDB_BRANCH` environment variable in Vercel. 🚀 Hackathon alert! Join our first-ever EdgeDB + Vercel Hackathon! Build your app using EdgeDB. Host it on Vercel and EdgeDB Cloud. The rest of the tech stack is your choice :rocket: 🔗 Details & registration: https://lnkd.in/dDZw2-Tq Read more about the Vercel integration and the hackathon announcement in our latest blog post: https://lnkd.in/dXRqPjnt
