NebulaGraph

NebulaGraph is a high-performance, open-source distributed graph database engineered specifically to handle super large-scale connected data. It solves the critical performance challenge of processing massive graphs (trillions of edges and vertices) by delivering lightning-fast queries and transactions with consistent millisecond latency. Built on a shared-nothing architecture, NebulaGraph offers the linear scalability and resilience necessary for mission-critical, real-time applications used by global enterprises, making it the ideal choice for architects, data scientists, and DevOps teams.

Key Features

We focus on delivering high throughput, extreme scalability, and operational resilience required for modern data workloads.

📈 Unmatched Distributed Scale

NebulaGraph is the only open-source graph database designed to store and process graphs containing trillions of edges and vertices. Leveraging the powerful RocksDB storage engine, it provides low-latency read and write operations and exceptionally high throughput, ensuring performance remains consistent even as your dataset grows exponentially.

⚡ Lightning-Fast Query Processing

Experience lightning-fast QPS (Queries Per Second) and TPS (Transactions Per Second) with guaranteed millisecond latency. The powerful native graph engine is highly optimized for memory usage and high concurrency, enabling efficient, blazingly fast graph traversals across sheer volumes of connected data, dramatically reducing analysis time.

🗣️ Native GQL and Multi-Language Support

As the first distributed graph database to offer native GQL support (in Enterprise v5.0), NebulaGraph ensures superior data compatibility and interoperability. You can simplify complex data relationships using the intuitive, SQL-like nGQL query language, while maintaining flexibility with compatibility for openCypher and ISO-GQL, significantly cutting down learning and migration costs.

🛡️ Automated High Availability (99.99%)

Built with a shared-nothing architecture and a robust snapshot feature, NebulaGraph guarantees high availability and resilience against failures. Recovery is fully automatic and transparent to clients; if an instance fails, the system removes the failed node and creates a replacement based on the latest snapshot, ensuring business continuity without data loss or downtime.

Use Cases

NebulaGraph is production-ready and used worldwide to power systems where speed, scale, and relationship analysis are paramount.

• Real-Time Fraud Detection: Trace complex financial relationships, transaction chains, and behavioral connections across massive datasets instantly to identify fraudulent rings, money laundering schemes, and anomalies with millisecond precision, allowing for immediate action.

• Personalized Recommendation Systems: Efficiently analyze user-item interactions, multi-hop connections, and community relationships to deliver highly relevant product, content, or social recommendations in real time, maximizing user engagement and conversion rates.

• Enterprise Knowledge Graphs: Build comprehensive, interconnected knowledge bases capable of storing and traversing billions of entities. This enables deep semantic search, complex reasoning, and sophisticated AI applications that require understanding the context between disparate data points.

Unique Advantages

NebulaGraph is engineered to overcome the inherent performance bottlenecks found in many traditional graph database systems, providing verifiable benefits at scale.

• Superior Performance Benchmark: In real production environments, NebulaGraph has been proven to beat the performance of competing graph databases by multiple times over. It is designed to securely process data sets at least twice the size and twice as fast as other solutions, unleashing the power of exponentially growing connected data.

• Cloud-Native Design & Flexibility: Our shared-nothing architecture guarantees linear scalability without introducing cloud vendor lock-in. You retain flexible deployment options, allowing you to run NebulaGraph wherever you need it: on-premises, public cloud, hybrid environments, or even local machines for development.

• Production-Ready Maturity: NebulaGraph is mature, stable, and widely trusted. It is used in production by major global enterprises, including Snapchat, Binance, and others, for mission-critical applications, demonstrating its capability to handle the most demanding real-world workloads.

Conclusion

NebulaGraph delivers the necessary speed, massive scale, and operational resilience required to unlock the full potential of your exponentially growing connected data. By combining open-source flexibility with enterprise-grade performance and native GQL support, it stands ready to power your next generation of data-intensive applications.
