TypeDB is a strongly-typed, polymorphic general-purpose database written in Rust, with its own declarative query language TypeQL, unifying relational, document, and graph modeling via entities, relations, and attributes. It supports schema-first design, inference over knowledge graphs, native vector search, and ships with drivers, a CLI console, and TypeDB Studio.

Use cases

• build a knowledge graph my AI agents can reason over
• model complex interconnected data with a strict schema
• query embeddings directly in my database
• replace SQL joins with n-ary relations
• build an RBAC access-control data model
• manage cybersecurity or financial services data with guardrails
• run a self-hosted transactional graph database

When to choose

• your data is deeply nested or interconnected and relational/document models force awkward joins or reification
• you want schema-enforced data correctness, subtyping, and polymorphism in the database
• you need inference and reasoning over a knowledge base for AI applications

When to avoid

• you need a mature ecosystem with broad ORM, BI, and third-party tooling support
• you need multi-server clustering on a free open-source license
• your team is only familiar with SQL and cannot adopt a new query language
