Kùzu

Kùzu is an embedded graph database built for query speed and scalability. Kùzu is optimized for handling complex join-heavy analytical workloads on very large databases, with the following core feature set:

  • Flexible Property Graph Data Model and Cypher query language
  • Embeddable, serverless integration into applications
  • Columnar disk-based storage
  • Columnar sparse row-based (CSR) adjacency list/join indices
  • Vectorized and factorized query processor
  • Novel and very fast join algorithms
  • Multi-core query parallelism
  • Serializable ACID transactions

Kùzu started as a research project at University of Waterloo and is now being developed primarily by Kùzu Inc., a spinoff company from University of Waterloo. Kùzu is available under a permissible license. So try it out and help us make it better! We welcome your feedback and feature requests.
