Seamless DX with Vercel

It’s only been a couple months since we announced our Vercel integration. Today, we’re taking it to the next level. EdgeDB is part of the newly launched Vercel Marketplace, alongside Redis and Supabase.

If you’re a Vercel user, using EdgeDB is now as seamless as using Vercel Postgres. Here are a few important notes:

  • You can now use your Vercel account for seamless authentication with EdgeDB Cloud.

  • Your EdgeDB Cloud usage will be included in your Vercel bill.

  • Everything is auto-configured to run out of the box, eliminating any friction between your database and the app.

Kicker: the price to use EdgeDB remains the same, regardless of whether you access it through Vercel or directly via cloud.edgedb.com.

The new integration makes it incredibly easy to build and deploy EdgeDB applications using Vercel’s streamlined developer experience. Additionally, EdgeDB Cloud integrates with GitHub and Vercel Preview deployments, ensuring a seamless workflow.

With EdgeDB you can build fast, lean, and 100% type-safe Next.js applications. The pain of database schema migrations, joins, and access control disappears. Built-in Auth and AI extensions make it possible to build production-grade systems in a matter of days or even hours.

Here are some links to Next.js / TypeScript guides to help you get started:

First up, we’ll see you at Next.js Conf! EdgeDB is proud to be a Gold Sponsor. Be sure to visit our booth and chat with us!

Next, EdgeDB’s upcoming release is shaping up to be very exciting:

  • SQL becomes a first-class citizen, making EdgeDB more accessible and compatible with the Postgres ecosystem—plus, we’re infusing SQL with powerful new capabilities.

  • Full PostGIS support, unlocking advanced spatial capabilities.

  • Introducing LSP (Language Server Protocol), so your editor can fully understand and work with EdgeDB schemas.

  • net module to make EdgeDB speak HTTP. Read the RFC.

Plus, we’ll be rolling out numerous improvements to EdgeDB Cloud, the built-in UI, and other core components.
