| Description | An embedded, schemaless property graph database for analytical (OLAP) workloads that stores data as columnar "Graphlets" and answers openCypher queries through a Cascades-style optimizer forked from Greenplum's ORCA. Built on DuckDB's vectorized execution and developed at POSTECH, it ships as a single shared library with no server. | A polymorphic database that natively models inheritance hierarchies, dependencies, and conceptual schemas using its TypeQL query language. Supports clustering for scalability and a cloud-agnostic deployment model. |
