| Description | A multi-model graph database built on PostgreSQL, supporting property graphs with JSON properties. Enables hybrid openCypher and SQL query processing on the same data. | A multi-model database supporting graphs, key-value pairs, and documents in a unified JSON-based data model, stored in a RocksDB-based engine. Since version 3.12 the server no longer runs graph algorithms itself (the Pregel system was removed); they run in separate Graph Analytics Engines on the Arango platform. |
