Thanks, this is helpful!

I think what I'm trying to understand is this: if I use EdgeDB in production, how often will I end up dropping down to the SQL level to debug things? If I'm trying to debug a slow query, can I do it at the EdgeDB level? Or will I have to open a PostgreSQL terminal, see how things are laid out there, run EXPLAINs, check the slow query log, and so on?

When I use ORMs, the answer to this is "pretty often". The ORM makes my application code cleaner, but I still need to have a complete understanding of the underlying SQL representation in order to ensure good performance and debug errors. I'm curious how that compares to using EdgeDB.
