    • Oh my gosh, did they just straight up steal (copy and remove attribution) from TitanDB? That has to be the death of this project right now, right? How could they ever monetize?…

  • Schema inspection feature like Cypher db.schema

    From 2 comments
    • The question is no longer to store à lot of nodes/edges. Or be Gremlin compatible. They have become basic requirements. [Btw, as far as I understand, if you are Gremlin…

    • Have you tried Neo4j? If so, I'm curious to know what your experience was like between the two that made you pick Dgraph

    • I took a look at dgraph. It requires you to set up multiple servers just to get up and running. Doesn't have packages for linux distros, etc. If you like it because of go, do you…
