Off the top, ORM all the way. I don't like SQL syntax, it makes my head hurt. Boooo.

I recently switched from RethinkDB to EdgeDB, and it uses SQL under the hood. I love it, it's awesome. I don't need raw SQL but I think EdgeDB allows you to write queries if you want.

How do you host your edgedb server? I’ve entertained it but didn’t like the idea of having to host 3 servers just to have my app, edgedb, and a database. Strictly speaking toy projects here. Db can be a managed free tier. I guess I can make edgedb run on the same server as my app but in another process.

I do! I wrote a nameserver in Deno and have it sitting on the same server as EdgeDB. The baremetal instructions are missing a bit when I was attempting this setup last month but to the devs' credit, they updated the documentation to address my issues.

The EdgeDB team is going to release a managed service sometime "soon".

Guess I’ll have to try it now. Just saw they released a .net client too. Neat.
