🆕 We've recently added a section on integrating EdgeDB Auth with @fastapi.tiangolo.com in our docs! 🔗 Check it out: docs.edgedb.com/guides/tuto...

Screenshot of the updated EdgeDB documentation page on integrating EdgeDB Auth, showing detailed steps for setting up authentication directly in the database schema, migrating changes, and configuring parameters. The interface features a dark theme with a navigation sidebar highlighting various topics like Deployment, FastAPI, and more.

we have something for you 😊

The image shows an "EdgeDB Wrapped" presentation, similar to Spotify Wrapped, but for database queries. It features three cards:

1. "Your top query this year was: select User { * }"
with a comment "(at least it wasn't SELECT *)"

2. "You wrote 'filter' 2,845 times" with a comment "(Your SQL friends will be writing WHERE 🤯)"

3. "Time saved by not writing JOINs: 127.3 hours"

Which one is more readable, SQL solutions (they are great) or EdgeQL? I'm biased, please help. 👋 (day 4 AoC solution)

Btw, did you know we have a guide on integrating @trpc.io with EdgeDB? 👀 🔗 docs.edgedb.com/guides/tuto...

The image is a promotional banner for a guide titled "Integrating EdgeDB with tRPC". It introduces a tutorial on using EdgeDB with tRPC for a type-safe API. Key features include database interactions, API routing, and authentication, ensuring type safety between client and server. References include:

A monorepo template for the T3 stack, Turborepo, and EdgeDB.
A real-world example project utilizing EdgeDB and tRPC.
The first step highlights setting up EdgeDB as the application's database layer.

Silly me. Turns our Advent of Code challenges have two parts in them, and who knew, the second part is harder 🙈 I went back and implemented the second part of the second day challenge. This might be interesting to you regardless of EdgeQL, read if you like math or SQL too. 🧵
