Embeddable graph database built in pure Rust. Dual data models (LPG + RDF), five query languages, HNSW vector search, MVCC transactions. Zero external dependencies.
- 5 query languages: GQL (ISO), Cypher, Gremlin, GraphQL, SPARQL. Use what you know.
- LPG + RDF in one engine: Property graphs and triples with optimized storage for each.
- Vector search: HNSW indexes with scalar, binary, and product quantization. SIMD-accelerated.
- Embeddable: Link as a library (Rust, Python, Node.js, WASM) or run as a server. No external processes.
- Fast(est): Push-based vectorized execution, morsel-driven parallelism, columnar storage with zone maps. Benchmarked with ann-benchmarks and graph-bench.
