We built a type-safe Python ORM for RedisGraph/FalkorDB
We were tired of writing raw Cypher — escaping quotes, zero autocomplete, refactoring nightmares — so we built GraphORM: a type-safe Python ORM for RedisGraph/FalkorDB using pure Python objects. What it does Instead of fragile Cypher: query = """ MATCH (a:User {user_id: 1})-[r1:FRIEND]->(b:User)-[r2:FRIEND]->(c:User) WHERE c.user_id <> 1 AND b.active = true WITH b, count(r2) as friend_count WHERE friend_count > 5 RETURN c, friend_count ORDER BY friend_count DESC LIMIT 10 """ You write type-safe Python: stmt = select().match( (UserA, FRIEND.alias("r1"), UserB), (UserB,…

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…
Prisma Python – A fully typed ORM for Python2022 · github.com · ▲130I created this ORM to fill a gap in the Python ecosystem. Due to the nature of typing in Python there are no other Python ORMs that can provide correct type hints. Prisma Python manages to work around this by auto-generating python types. Aside from static type checking, providing type hints means that you will get autocomplete suggestions for you which for me is the killer feature for this ORM (see the GIF in the README for an example). It's also built on top of Prisma, a next-generation ORM for TypeScript which means that the core query building and connection handling has been battle…

TypeGraph – Type-safe graphs on Postgres/SQLite (no graph DB required)Feb 2026 · typegraph.dev · ▲5Hi HN, I built TypeGraph, a type-safe knowledge graph library that runs on your existing Postgres or SQLite. After years of building knowledge graphs and other graphy things, I had the same issues whenever an application’s relationship modeling (permissions, RAG context, recommendations) outgrew standard ORMs: deploy a dedicated graph database (heavy ops, separate infra, data syncing headaches), or roll a graph-in-SQL implementation by hand. I've hand-rolled enough of these to know the drill: same table structures, same traversal boilerplate, same performance surprises. I wanted graph…
FalkorDB fork from RedisGraph bringing it back to life2023 · github.com · ▲11The team behind RedisGraph decided to take a stab at bringing this disruptive technology back to market. We plan to rebrand it and release it as a stand alone product, following the same guidelines we have followed for the last 6 years: * Working in the open with the community * Always provide superior performance. * Easy to adapt
- FOFalkorDB – Open-source graph database major update (C/Rust)2025 · ▲7
Hey HN, I’m Roi, one of the co-creators of FalkorDB. We’re a growing team working on a graph database designed for production workloads and GraphRAG systems. The new release (v4.10.0) is out, and I wanted to share some of the updates and ask for feedback from folks who care about performance, memory efficiency in graph-heavy systems. FalkorDB is an open-source property graph database that supports OpenCypher (with our own extensions) and is used under the hood for retrieval-augmented generation setups where accuracy matters. The big problem we’re working on is scaling graph databases without…

Talanoa▲345Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
