## What it is
EliasDB is a lightweight graph database written in Go that stores data as nodes connected by edges, with support for transactions, partitions, and full-text search. It can be embedded in Go applications or run as a standalone server with a REST API, GraphQL interface, and its own SQL-like query language (EQL).

## Use cases
- store application data as a graph
- embed a transactional graph database in a Go application
- query graph data with GraphQL or a SQL-like language
- run a standalone graph database server with a REST API
- full-text search over graph nodes
- cluster graph data across multiple instances

## When to choose
- you want a lightweight, dependency-free graph database in Go
- you need an embeddable database with transaction support
- you prefer GraphQL or a custom query language over SQL
- you want a standalone server with REST API and user management out of the box

## When to avoid
- you need a battle-tested database at massive scale
- you require SQL or wide ecosystem tooling support
- you need relational or document data models rather than graphs
- you need multi-model or heavy analytics workloads
