| Description | A real-time, type-safe property graph database in TypeScript built on CRDTs via Yjs for offline-first synchronization. Defines schemas with Standard Schema libraries (Zod, Valibot, ArkType) and queries them via a Gremlin-style traversal API or a Cypher-compatible string language. Includes pluggable storage and full-text search. | A distributed graph database with horizontal scaling and ACID transactions. Uses its own query language (DQL) derived from GraphQL, with automatic shard rebalancing across cluster nodes. |
