DuckDB for graphs
The embedded columnar graph database built for highly regulated industries. Production-ready in minutes.
Kuzu, with 10+ enterprise customers and VLDB publications, was acquired by Apple. Teams using embedded graph databases for agentic AI are now scrambling for a replacement.
Kuzu's open source development stopped post-acquisition. No new features, bug fixes, or community support.
Unpatched vulnerabilities and no path forward for critical security updates. Your data deserves better.
Agentic applications in highly regulated industries need a reliable embedded graph database now.
Built on battle-tested foundations with a commitment to open source. LadybugDB carries forward the Kuzu vision with active development and enterprise support.
Columnar storage with vectorized execution delivers lightning-fast analytical queries on graph data.
Zero external dependencies. Run anywhere - edge, embedded, or cloud. Perfect for agentic applications.
Optimized for analytics on connected data. Compress better, scan faster than traditional graph stores.
Commercial support contracts available. Backed by a team committed to long-term development.
