Anyone who needs an open-source graph database for Linked Data
About Cayley
Cayley is an open-source database for Linked Data. It is inspired by the graph database behind Google's Knowledge Graph (formerly Freebase). Cayley is an open-source graph database designed for ease of use and storing complex data. Built-in query editor, visualizer and REPL. Cayley can use multiple query languages like Gizmo, a query language inspired by Gremlin, GraphQL-inspired query language, MQL a simplified version for Freebase fans. Cayley is modular, easy to connect to your favorite programming languages and back-end stores, production ready, well tested and used by various companies for their production workloads and fast with optimized specifically for usage in applications. Rough performance testing shows that, on 2014 consumer hardware and an average disk, 134m quads in LevelDB is no problem and a multi-hop intersection query- films starring X and Y - takes ~150ms. Cayley is configured by default to run in memory (That's what backend memstore means).

Apache TinkerPop
Apache TinkerPop™ is a graph computing framework for both graph databases (OLTP) and graph analytic systems (OLAP). Gremlin is the graph traversal language of Apache TinkerPop. Gremlin is a functional, data-flow language that enables users to succinctly express complex traversals on (or queries of) their application's property graph. Every Gremlin traversal is composed of a sequence of (potentially nested) steps. A graph is a structure composed of vertices and edges. Both vertices and edges can have an arbitrary number of key/value pairs called properties. Vertices denote discrete objects such as a person, a place, or an event. Edges denote relationships between vertices. For instance, a person may know another person, have been involved in an event, and/or have recently been at a particular place. If a user's domain is composed of a heterogeneous set of objects (vertices) that can be related to one another in a multitude of ways (edges).

PuppyGraph
PuppyGraph empowers you to seamlessly query one or multiple data stores as a unified graph model. Graph databases are expensive, take months to set up, and need a dedicated team. Traditional graph databases can take hours to run multi-hop queries and struggle beyond 100GB of data. A separate graph database complicates your architecture with brittle ETLs and inflates your total cost of ownership (TCO). Connect to any data source anywhere. Cross-cloud and cross-region graph analytics. No complex ETLs or data replication is required. PuppyGraph enables you to query your data as a graph by directly connecting to your data warehouses and lakes. This eliminates the need to build and maintain time-consuming ETL pipelines needed with a traditional graph database setup. No more waiting for data and failed ETL processes. PuppyGraph eradicates graph scalability issues by separating computation and storage.

HugeGraph
HugeGraph is a fast-speed and highly-scalable graph database. Billions of vertices and edges can be easily stored into and queried from HugeGraph due to its excellent OLTP ability. As compliance to Apache TinkerPop 3 framework, various complicated graph queries can be accomplished through Gremlin (a powerful graph traversal language). Among its features, it provides compliance to Apache TinkerPop 3, supporting Gremlin. Schema Metadata Management, including VertexLabel, EdgeLabel, PropertyKey and IndexLabel. Multi-type Indexes, supporting exact query, range query and complex conditions combination query. Plug-in Backend Store Driver Framework, supporting RocksDB, Cassandra, ScyllaDB, HBase and MySQL now and easy to add other backend store driver if needed. Integration with Hadoop/Spark. HugeGraph relies on the TinkerPop framework, we refer to the storage structure of Titan and the schema definition of DataStax.
