README
The Only Native GraphQL Database With A Graph Backend.
Dgraph is a horizontally scalable and distributed GraphQL database with a graph backend. It provides ACID transactions, consistent replication, and linearizable reads. It's built from the ground up to perform for a rich set of queries. Being a native GraphQL database, it tightly controls how the data is arranged on disk to optimize for query performance and throughput, reducing disk seeks and network calls in a cluster.
Dgraph's goal is to provide Google production level scale and throughput, with low enough latency to be serving real-time user queries, over terabytes of structured data. Dgraph supports GraphQL query syntax, and responds in JSON and Protocol Buffers over GRPC and HTTP.

Status
Dgraph is at version v21.03.0 and is production-ready. Apart from the vast open source community, it is being used in production at multiple Fortune 500 companies, and by Intuit Katlas and VMware Purser.
Quick Install
The quickest way to install Dgraph is to run this command on Linux or Mac.
curl https://get.dgraph.io -sSf | bash
Install with Docker
If you're using Docker, you can use the official Dgraph image.
docker pull dgraph/dgraph:latest
Install from Source
If you want to install from source, install Go 1.13+ or later and the following dependencies:
Ubuntu
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install build-essential
macOS
As a prerequisite, first install XCode (or the XCode Command-line Tools) and Homebrew.
Next, install the required dependencies:
brew update
brew install jemalloc go
Build and Install
Then clone the Dgraph repository and use make install
to install the Dgraph binary to $GOPATH/bin
.
git clone https://github.com/dgraph-io/dgraph.git
cd ./dgraph
make install
Get Started
To get started with Dgraph, follow:
- Installation to queries in 3 steps via dgraph.io/docs/.
- A longer interactive tutorial via dgraph.io/tour/.
- Tutorial and presentation videos on YouTube channel.
Is Dgraph the right choice for me?
- Do you have more than 10 SQL tables connected via foreign keys?
- Do you have sparse data, which doesn't elegantly fit into SQL tables?
- Do you want a simple and flexible schema, which is readable and maintainable over time?
- Do you care about speed and performance at scale?
If the answers to the above are YES, then Dgraph would be a great fit for your application. Dgraph provides NoSQL like scalability while providing SQL like transactions and the ability to select, filter, and aggregate data points. It combines that with distributed joins, traversals, and graph operations, which makes it easy to build applications with it.
