Just wondering this, how feasible is to "deploy" a EdgeDB server locally to use as if it were SQLite? I noticed that this project is mostly Python and a little of Rust, and for Python you usually want the Python interpreter available when you intend to run a Python project. The use case I'm visualizing is games and software that may require the convenience of a database and a query language to operate on it but may want to avoid SQL and NoSQL all together for something more convenient like EdgeDB. |

The footprint of EdgeDB is going to be a lot bigger than of SQLite. The latter is purposefully built to be embeddable in applications. It should be possible to do with EdgeDB too, just going to be a bit more complicated.
All EdgeDB packages bundle their own Python interpreter, we never depend on the system Python. So at least this point shouldn't be a concern! |

in my mind, being able to run the EdgeDB server from a standalone executable is good enough, SQLite is made to be embedded indeed, but I don't intend that with EdgeDB. Is there any documentation on how to accomplish this with EdgeDB? |

Unfortunately no, not at this point, unfortunately. That said, if the application has docker as a dependency then packaging EdgeDB along with it would be trivial. |

well, I was more interested in games. Guess I'll have to build my abstraction over SQLite and see what happens

I wonder if something changed since this issue was opened. As of now EdgeDB described as "Turbocharged Postgres |
