A distributed, scalable, lightning-fast graph database

What is Nebula Graph?

Nebula Graph is an open-source graph database capable of hosting super large scale graphs with dozens of billions of vertices (nodes) and trillions of edges, with milliseconds of latency.

Compared with other graph database solutions, Nebula Graph has the following advantages:

Symmetrically distributed
Storage and computing separation
Horizontal scalability
Strong data consistency by RAFT protocol
OpenCypher-compatible query language
Role-based access control for higher level security
