1. What is the story for replication currently? Can I use EdgeDB with Posgres replication tools like Stolon or Patroni, running EdgeDB against the proxy they expose?
Or does EdgeDB plan/need to have its own replication?
> Tooling for that will be coming in the next few alpha releases.
2. "A builtin migration system that can reason and diff schemas automatically or interactively"
How do you deal with the fact that Posgres does not offer transactional DDL (e.g. ALTER TABLE)?
In our Posgres, we had to use advisory locks around migrations to avoid concurrent schema changes invoked by concurrently starting servers which run migration.
