🚄 Quick deployment of graph model on relational DB. Any feedback/contributors/users are welcome!

Hello Indie Hackers,

As one of the contributors of Apache AGE (A Graph Extension), I’d like to introduce the ongoing project I’ve been contributing to and would really like to hear your feedback. If this open-source project seems interesting to you, feel free to contribute! 😀

Apache AGE is a PostgreSQL extension that leverages a graph database on top of the existing relational database. AGE supports the functionalities and features of PostgreSQL, while also offering a graph model to boot. By using the Cypher query language in accordance with the openCypher specification, users may read and write nodes and edges stored in Postgres. Along with using the graph DB feature, users may also use various algorithms such as variable length edge traversal to analyze data.

As of now, AGE supports up to PostgreSQL 11 & 12, and working on the alpha version for 13. By end of Q1 2023, the team will make it support PostgreSQL 14 & 15.

The AGE Team wants to help users with a relational background who are in need of graph data analytics. By using this extension, the users can use existing data without migration to enable the graph database.

The long-term vision of the AGE team is to make it compatible with all relational databases in future development, starting with MariaDB and MySQL. That is when ‘A Graph Extension’ would be known as ‘All Graph Extension’.
