| Description | A property graph database that runs as a Redis module, formerly RedisGraph. Uses GraphBLAS sparse matrix operations for query execution, enabling parallel graph traversal. | An embedded graph library for TypeScript applications that keeps property graph data in an existing SQLite or PostgreSQL database, compiling typed traversals to SQL rather than running a separate graph service. Node and edge schemas are declared with Zod and carry ontology relations such as subClassOf and inverseOf, alongside vector and keyword search through pgvector, sqlite-vec, and libSQL. |
