BlitzGraph – Supabase for graphs, built for LLM agents

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…

In plain words

BlitzGraph is a graph database designed specifically for LLM agents as an alternative to traditional SQL databases. It allows records to belong to multiple types simultaneously and evolve over time, with polymorphic relations as a core feature. This approach eliminates the need for awkward self-joins and enables proper tracking of entities throughout their lifecycle without forcing data into a rigid table structure. The system models relationships more naturally than legacy relational databases.

  • HelixDB – Open-source vector-graph database for AI applications (Rust)2025 · github.com · ▲237

    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.…

  • HelixDB – A graph database built on object storageJun 2026 · github.com · ▲159

    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…

    In-Browser Graph RAG with Kuzu-WASM and WebLLM2025 · blog.kuzudb.com · ▲158

    We show the potential of modern, embedded graph databases in the browser by demonstrating a fully in-browser chatbot that can perform Graph RAG using Kuzu (the graph database we're building) and WebLLM, a popular in-browser inference engine for LLMs. The post retrieves from the graph via a Text-to-Cypher pipeline that translates a user question into a Cypher query, and the LLM uses the retrieved results to synthesize a response. As LLMs get better, and WebGPU and Wasm64 become more widely adopted, we expect to be able to do more and more in the browser in combination with LLMs, so a lot of…

    CozoDB, Hybrid Relational-Graph-Vector Database2023 · docs.cozodb.org · ▲137

    Hi HN! We're thrilled to share CozoDB v0.6, a monumental update to our FOSS database, which already unifies relational and graph features. With the addition of vector search, CozoDB becomes an even better companion for LLMs like ChatGPT. This release introduces vector search using HNSW indices within Datalog, enabling seamless integration with powerful features such as ad-hoc joins, recursive Datalog, and classical whole-graph algorithms. This update significantly broadens CozoDB's capabilities. Check out the linked release note for an in-depth look at the new features, comparisons to other…

The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!
