Gel

Gel is an open-source database platform built to supercharge Postgres. It addresses the ergonomic limitations of traditional SQL and relational modeling by introducing a modern, object-oriented data model and a powerful query language, EdgeQL. This approach eliminates common issues like n+1 query problems and simplifies complex data fetching without requiring manual JOINs.

The platform is designed to streamline your entire development workflow with a suite of integrated tools and features:

• Graph-Relational Queries: Write intuitive, composable queries that traverse object relationships naturally.
• End-to-End Type Safety: Generate typed client libraries from your schema for robust, error-free code.
• Simplified Migrations: Benefit from a purpose-built, interactive migration system that makes schema evolution easy.
• Built-in Auth & AI: Get out-of-the-box solutions for authentication (OAuth, passkeys) and GenAI, including a vector store and automatic RAG endpoints.
• Seamless Dev Experience: Enjoy a zero-config local setup, a comprehensive CLI, a built-in graphical UI, and easy deployment to the cloud.
