dgraph
A horizontally scalable, distributed GraphQL database with ACID transactions and real-time query performance.
What is dgraph?
Dgraph is a horizontally scalable and distributed GraphQL database with a graph backend, designed for high-performance graph operations at scale. It provides ACID transactions, consistent replication, and linearizable reads, making it suitable for real-time applications over terabytes of structured data. The database is built from the ground up to optimize query performance and throughput by controlling data arrangement on disk.
Developers and organizations building applications with complex, interconnected data that require scalable graph operations, such as those with more than 10 SQL tables connected via foreign keys or sparse data that doesn't fit elegantly into SQL tables. It targets users needing production-level scale and low latency for real-time queries.
Developers choose Dgraph for its native GraphQL support combined with distributed ACID transactions and automatic horizontal scalability, offering NoSQL-like scalability with SQL-like transaction guarantees. Its unique selling point is providing Google production-level scale and throughput with low latency, along with native full-text search, geo search, and automatic shard rebalancing without manual intervention.
