Kùzu: An Embeddable GDBMS like DuckDB/SQLite from UWaterloo
Hello HN! Today, we are pleased to publicly release Kùzu: a new embeddable graph database management system under a permissible license. You can see our blog post in the above link that gives an overview of the system and our goals/vision. The system is in its early stages but please try it out and give us your feedback, tell us your feature requests, and please report bugs!
In plain words
Kùzu is an embeddable graph database management system designed for developers who need to store and query connected data within applications. Similar to DuckDB and SQLite, it operates as a self-contained library rather than a separate server. Released by researchers from the University of Waterloo under a permissive license, Kùzu is in early development stages and welcomes user feedback, feature requests, and bug reports.

Right now, each card costs me about $20 each, but with only a bit more scale, I think I can get that down to $10. In doing this project, I learned how to design electronics and circuit boards. I learned Rust and wrote my first driver, I upped my CAD skills, 3D printed, and did my first resin casting. I generated the images on the…
