Comment on Ask HN: What is your preferred open source graph database?

Comments

Hi! IMO you should definitely check out Kuzu - It's an embeddable, fast, highly scalable graph database with an MIT (highly permissive) open source license. Kuzu was created for broader adoption in the open source community and scales to very large graphs on a single machine. Disclaimer: I work as DevRel at Kuzu. Check out our GitHub!

+1 to kuzu: kuzu runs as ephemeral memory graph at every request in Bauplan as of today - which means 10k times a day at least ;-)

We shared our use case publicly, with a bit of details on performance gains and simplicity: https://www.bauplanlabs.com/blog/ephemeral-graphs-for-data-d...

Id second this. Checks all the boxes - Embeddable (yup i use sqlite) - fast - Open source - uses Cypher and not some obscure custom language.

You may have to do a lil bit of work to get backups working. But once you get past that, it's awesome.

I think its a no brainer for anyone excited by tools like duckdb and libsql. Fits in my stack perfectly well.
