Apache AGE is a PostgreSQL extension that adds graph database capabilities on top of existing relational databases, supporting openCypher queries alongside standard ANSI SQL. It is inspired by Bitnine's AgensGraph and enables a single storage engine handling both relational and graph data models.

Use cases

  • add graph queries to an existing postgres database
  • run openCypher queries against relational data
  • store and analyze graph and relational data in one database
  • build social network or fraud detection graph analytics
  • migrate from AgensGraph to a postgres extension
  • perform real-time graph analysis on postgres data

When to choose

  • you already run PostgreSQL and want graph capabilities without a separate database
  • you need both SQL and openCypher in a single storage engine
  • you want graph analytics with real-time performance on relational data

When to avoid

  • you need a standalone dedicated graph database with its own ecosystem
  • your workload is purely relational with no graph relationships
  • you require graph features beyond what openCypher and AGE currently support
