About this ebook
"EdgeDB WASM in the Browser"
"EdgeDB WASM in the Browser" presents a comprehensive exploration of deploying EdgeDB—a cutting-edge, graph-relational database—as a WebAssembly (WASM) module for seamless execution within browser environments. The book systematically examines the architectural foundations of both EdgeDB and WebAssembly, providing readers with a robust understanding of browser-centric database dynamics, resource constraints, and security boundaries. Detailed comparisons with traditional client-side databases and in-depth threat modeling establish the context for why EdgeDB’s new browser-based approach is both timely and transformative.
Diving into the practicalities, the book guides professionals through every step of compiling EdgeDB to WASM, from analyzing the database’s internals and adapting dependencies to optimizing build processes and enforcing world-class security. It skillfully navigates the module’s lifecycle in the browser, covering persistent storage integration, error recovery, versioning, and resource management. Readers also benefit from authoritative treatment of query processing, schema evolution, and transactional guarantees—all tailored for browser execution—alongside advanced instrumentation and optimization techniques.
Beyond core implementation, the text distinguishes itself with thorough coverage of frontend integration, synchronization protocols, data privacy, and regulatory compliance. From interfacing EdgeDB WASM with JavaScript frameworks to architecting robust offline-first applications, real-time updates, and end-to-end encryption, each chapter equips developers and architects with actionable patterns. Finally, the book explores testing, debugging, and performance engineering best practices, concluding with emerging trends, tooling, and open research—making it an indispensable guide for anyone pioneering data-rich web experiences at the intersection of databases and WebAssembly.
