## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: service
- maturity: active
- function: database, search-engine, vector-database
- domain: databases, artificial-intelligence, developer-tools
- platform: windows, self-hosted, cloud, rust
