> What's a good way to develop a mental model about what's happening under the hood in EdgeDB?

At the physical schema level [0] or at the conceptual schema level [1]?

This answer from edgedb CTO might clear the latter up; https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30291538

As for the former, I guess it is the same as however Postgres (pg) chooses to represent the edge-db tables. EdgeDB (graph on pg) sounds like Timescale (timeseries on pg [2]).
