## What it is
IndraDB is a graph database written in Rust, available as a gRPC-based server with Python and Rust bindings, as an embeddable Rust library, and via a CLI. It supports directed typed graphs, JSON properties, multi-hop queries, and pluggable datastores such as PostgreSQL and sled.

## Use cases
- store and query directed graphs with typed vertices and edges
- embed a graph database directly in a Rust application
- query multi-hop graph relationships via gRPC from Python or other languages
- run a lightweight graph server backed by PostgreSQL or sled
- browse and analyze large link graphs like wikipedia articles

## When to choose
- you need a simple, high-performance graph database without GC pauses
- you want cross-language access to a graph datastore via gRPC
- you want to embed a graph database natively in Rust code
- your graph is too large for full in-memory graph processing

## When to avoid
- you need rich graph query languages like Cypher or Gremlin
- you require a mature ecosystem with extensive tooling and GUIs
- you need full graph analytics algorithms like PageRank built in

## Facets
- artifact type: service
- maturity: active
- function: database, rpc, cli
- domain: databases, graph-processing, developer-tools
- platform: windows, rust, python, cross-platform
- tags: graph-database, grpc, embeddable, pluggable-datastores, -properties, linux, macos
