Dgraph is a horizontally scalable, distributed graph database that offers a native GraphQL API and ACID transactions. It is designed for real‑time workloads on terabyte‑scale data sets and runs primarily on Linux via Docker or Kubernetes.
Use cases
- store and query large knowledge graphs with low‑latency GraphQL queries
- power real‑time recommendation engines that need sub‑millisecond response times
- run analytics on terabyte‑scale graph data across a distributed cluster
- build property‑graph backends for microservice architectures
- enable fast graph traversals for fraud detection or network analysis
When to choose
- When you need a production‑grade, horizontally scalable graph database with native GraphQL support.
- When your workload requires real‑time query performance on billions of edges.
- When you prefer a Linux‑first deployment model with Docker/Kubernetes orchestration.
When to avoid
- If you require native Windows or macOS support for the database server.
- When you need a relational or document‑oriented database rather than a graph model.
- If you are looking for an embedded, in‑process database with minimal operational overhead.
