AGE
A PostgreSQL extension that adds graph database capabilities, enabling hybrid relational and graph querying with openCypher.
What is AGE?
Apache AGE is a multi-model graph database extension for PostgreSQL that enables graph processing and analytics on top of existing relational databases. It combines the robustness of PostgreSQL with the flexibility of graph queries, allowing users to leverage both relational and graph data models within a single storage system. This addresses the need for cohesive, easy-to-implement multi-model databases.
Developers and organizations already using PostgreSQL who need to incorporate graph analytics—such as for fraud detection, recommendation systems, or relationship management—without migrating to a separate graph database. Database administrators and data engineers seeking to extend their relational databases with graph capabilities.
Developers choose Apache AGE because it provides full PostgreSQL compatibility while adding openCypher query support, enabling hybrid queries that combine ANSI SQL and Cypher in a single system. Its unique selling point is the ability to perform advanced graph analytics within the familiar PostgreSQL environment, eliminating the need for separate database systems and simplifying data architecture.
