Gel is a new kind of database that takes the best parts of relational databases, graph databases, and ORMs. We call it a graph-relational database . 🧩 Types, not tables 🧩 Schema is the foundation of your application. It should be something you can read, write, and understand. Forget foreign keys; tabular data modeling is a relic of an older age, and it isn't compatible with modern languages. Instead, Gel thinks about schema the same way you do: as object types containing properties connected by links . This example is intentionally simple, but Gel supports everything you'd expect from your database: a strict type system, indexes, constraints, computed properties, stored procedures...the list goes on. Plus it gives you some shiny new features too: link properties, schema mixins, and best-in-class JSON support. Read the schema docs for details. 🌳 Objects, not rows 🌳 Gel's super-powered query language EdgeQL is designed as a ground-up redesign of SQL. EdgeQL queries produce rich, structured objects, not flat lists of rows. Deeply fetching related objects is painless...bye, bye, JOINs. EdgeQL queries are also composable ; you can use one EdgeQL query as an expression inside another. This property makes things like subqueries and nested mutations a breeze.
