How to self-host EdgeDB
published on 2024/07/28
What I like about EdgeDB is that the company behind it try to make things as simple as possible. Less guesswork is always appreciated and their docs are pretty good. However, this is my umpteenth attempt at getting EdgeDB running on my own server. But why bother doing that, don’t they have a hosted cloud service? Why yes! And it’s good! Unfortunately, beachfront/ is written in Deno and there’s an unimplemented feature that prevents my usage of EdgeDB’s cloud offering.
What follows is an attempt to streamline my notes during this exploratory ordeal…it’s been a month since I soft‑launched beachfront/ so some steps may be missing.
