Kuzu: A Graph Database for Query Speed and Scalability

Kuzu is a graph database management system built for query speed and scalability. It is designed to handle property graphs, which are a data model based on Neo4j's data model. Property graphs allow for object-oriented modeling with sets of records as nodes and relationships. Kuzu aims to make large-scale graph management accessible on a single machine, challenging the assumption that graph databases require distributed solutions. With its focus on performance and scalability, Kuzu implements advanced techniques such as factorization and hash join algorithms. While Kuzu currently integrates with Python and offers APIs for Java, Rust, C, and Node.js, it is actively working on expanding its connectors and integrations. The system is open source and encourages contributions from the community.
