About CypherDB

CypherDB is a fork of KuzuDB, an embeddable property graph database that is now a public archive. CypherDB was forked with these goals in mind:

  1. Provide a reference implementation of ISO-GQL's mandatory features - demonstrating best practices for the standard and helping the graph database community understand and adopt GQL.
  2. Be the SQLite of graph databases - a reliable, embedded graph database that developers can depend on for local-first applications, testing, and lightweight deployments.
  3. Build a sustainable open source community - committed to long-term stewardship, transparent governance, and ensuring the project remains a stable foundation that developers can confidently build upon for years to come.

How these goals are achieved is an open question that is being explored. CypherDB is at least an expression of these goals.
