  • interesting project, but i don't understand when i should use minigraf over something like Neo4j, Cozo, or SQLite. can you clarify?

  • what does 'Embedded' mean in this context?

    forgive my ignorance on such a basic concept. I read 'Embedded' as in 'for Embedded systems'

    Does it mean 'Embedded in your rust application'?

  • What are the benchmarks compared to other tools of equal or similar function in this category? How is Minigraf different than Kùzu or CozoDB?

  • Why do you need another database and another query language for this?

    Existing cypher based databases which support typed properties (including timestamps) on relationship tables can handle this use case just fine.

  • How does it compare with the since-discontinued embedded graph database cozodb? https://github.com/cozodb/cozo

    It also used datalog, written in rust

    Great to see tho, I'm always eagerly hoping for a successful embedded graph database. Most recently my hope was for kuzudb, but they got acquihired; though it's still open-sourcing' as LadybugDB.

    Highly recommend taking inspiration from Kuzudb/Ladybugdb and cozodb.

    Godspeed!

  • As I understand it, this is a tool for small datasets with an unknown schema and a required history? I'm struggling to find examples of real-world scenarios where this would be used.

    LLM memory.. let's say, architecturally, its suitable for storing and processing queries - is questionable, but okay. But what real-world use case would generate such queries? It seems to me that the context for formulating and processing the results would be orders of magnitude greater than simply writing down what's needed in plain text. If my notebook took the form of a temporal multiverse of entities, I'd lose the ability to use it properly.

    But maybe I'm just too old to quickly get the hang of every new type of Pokémon.

    P.S. I'm using the built-in SQLite to store a graph with up to 10 million edges in an MCP app I'm developing for working with code.

  • It would be great if you can add ArcadeDB (https://arcadedb.com) in the comparison page.

    Also, have you done some benchmarks, like the standard LDBC for graph databases?

    This is a project we keep updated: https://github.com/ArcadeData/ldbc_graphalytics_platforms_ar...
