Open Source, Distributed,
Scalable, Lightning Fast

openCypher compatible

Nebula Graph’s nGQL query language is gradually compatible with openCypher. This enables openCypher users to easily get started with Nebula Graph with a zero learning curve.

With a shared-nothing distributed architecture, Nebula Graph offers linear scalability, meaning that you can add more nodes or services to the cluster without affecting performance. It also means that if you want to horizontally scale out Nebula Graph, you don’t need to change the configuration of the existing nodes. As long as the network bandwidth is sufficient, you can add more nodes without changing anything else.

Resilient to failures

With horizontal scalability and a snapshot feature, Nebula Graph guarantees high availability even in case of failures. The snapshot feature allows users to take snapshots of a Nebula Graph instance at any point in time so that they can use them to restore data at that specific time. If a disaster occurs, Nebula Graph can be recovered from snapshots without data loss. When an instance fails, Nebula Graph will first remove this instance from the cluster and create a new one based on the snapshot to replace this failed instance. This process is fully automatic and transparent to clients.

Production ready

Nebula Graph is mature, stable, and production-ready. Nebula Graph has been widely used in production by large internet companies including Meituan, Tencent, WeBank, Boss Zhipin, and Zhihu. These companies are using Nebula Graph in their production environments for real-world applications like knowledge graph, recommendation systems, and fraud detection.
