A graph-relational database with declarative schema, built-in migration system, and a next-generation query language

InfluxDB
Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
A new DB, with a new query language that's like "SQL done right"? This immediately reminded me of EdgeDB: https://edgedb.com/
Is there anyone here who knows enough about these two products to do a compare/contrast?

It's not lossy if your application can guarantee a json <-> datatype roundtrip and the json is validated with jsonschema (generated by your application)
In Rust it's something like this
https://serde.rs/ to do the data type <-> json mapping
https://docs.rs/schemars/latest/schemars/ to generate jsonschema from your types
https://github.com/supabase/pg_jsonschema to validate jsonschema in your database (postgres). with this setup it's interesting (but not required) to also use https://docs.rs/jsonschema/latest/jsonschema/ to validate the schema in your application
