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

Today, we're diving into one of the most exciting features: ✨ schema and data branches ✨ Let's unravel how this revolutionizes database management! ⬇️ 🌳 Branching Out with EdgeDB 5: Say goodbye to the '70s-style databases! We've reimagined the concept of a "database" within a server to a "branch," streamlining vocabulary and expanding possibilities. Upgrade the EdgeDB CLI now, with `edgedb cli upgrade --to-stable`! 🔧 Simplified Commands: Managing branches is now a breeze with the EdgeDB CLI. Create, switch, and manage your database branches with straightforward commands. 💾 Flexible Branch Creation: Whether you need a clean slate or a complete copy of your data, EdgeDB supports various branch creation commands to suit your project needs: • `--empty` for no data • `--copy-data` for a full clone 🔄 Merging branches that haven't seen each other in a while? EdgeDB makes rebasing & merging easy: keep your schema changes organized and in order by rebasing branches before merging them. This ensures a smooth and accurate integration of database changes. 🎉 Launch Week Continues: Stay tuned as we unveil more features and updates throughout the week.
