Titan is a scalable distributed graph database optimized for storing and querying graphs with billions of vertices and edges, supporting the Apache TinkerPop/Gremlin stack. It runs as a cluster on top of storage backends like Cassandra or HBase with indexing via Elasticsearch or Solr.

Use cases

  • store and query a graph with billions of vertices and edges
  • run Gremlin traversals over a distributed graph
  • build a social network or fraud-detection graph backend
  • use Cassandra or HBase as a graph storage backend
  • full-text search over graph properties with Elasticsearch

When to choose

  • you need a JVM-based distributed graph database with TinkerPop compatibility and are comfortable maintaining it yourself

When to avoid

  • starting a new project - the project is effectively abandoned and JanusGraph is its maintained successor
  • small graphs that fit in a single-node database
  • you need commercial support or active community fixes
