    Hey HN, we want to share HelixDB (https://github.com/HelixDB/helix-db/), a project a college friend and I are working on. It’s a new database that natively intertwines graph and vector types, without sacrificing performance. It’s written in Rust and our initial focus is on supporting RAG. Here’s a video runthrough: https://screen.studio/share/szgQu3yq. Why a hybrid? Vector databases are useful for similarity queries, while graph databases are useful for relationship queries. Each stores data in a way that’s best for its main type of query (e.g.…

    Hello HN After becoming allergic to SQL, I opened 120+ issues in Dgraph, Typedb and surrealdb looking for the perfect graphDB. None of them was built for agents nor were they the perfect fit for what we wanted to achieve: fully ditching the SQL legacy to properly model reality. So we decided to build BlitzGraph In BlitzGraph, records (units) can belong to multiple types (kinds) and evolve through time. Also polymorphic relations are first class and multiple kinds can play the same role. This design helps to escape the old table paradigm and track entities throughout their lifecycle without…

    Hey HN, it’s been just over a year since we launched HelixDB (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43975423), a project a friend and I started in college. It’s an OLTP graph database built on object-storage, with native vector search and full-text search (FTS). Why graph, vector and FTS? Graph databases provide a natural cognitive model for data, vectors allow for a semantic understanding of the entities and relationships in the graph, and FTS provides more specific filtering. Many AI-driven applications attempt to combine all of these functionalities by stitching together…
