This repository contains the officially maintained Docker image packaging Gel and the Gel CLI.
This image is intended for use in production, or as part of a
development setup that involves multiple containers orchestrated by
Docker Compose or a similar tool. Otherwise, we recommend using the edgedb CLI to install Gel and
manage local instances.
Gel is an open-source object-relational database built on top of PostgreSQL, featuring:
- strict, object-oriented typed schema;
- powerful and expressive query language;
- rich standard library;
- built-in support for schema migrations;
- native GraphQL support.
