What is Nebula Graph?

Nebula Graph is an open-source graph database capable of hosting super large scale graphs with dozens of billions of vertices (nodes) and trillions of edges, with milliseconds of latency.

Compared with other graph database solutions, Nebula Graph has the following advantages:

  • Symmetrically distributed
  • Storage and computing separation
  • Horizontal scalability
  • Strong data consistency by RAFT protocol
  • OpenCypher-compatible query language
  • Role-based access control for higher level security

Notice of Release

This repository hosts the source code of Nebula Graph versions before 2.0.0-alpha and after v2.5.x. If you are looking to use the versions between v2.0.0 and v2.5.x, please head to Nebula Graph repo.

Nebula Graph 1.x is not actively maintained. Please move to Nebula Graph 2.x. The data format, rpc protocols, clients, etc. are not compatible between Nebula Graph v1.x and v2.x, but we do offer upgrade guide.

Contributing

Contributions are warmly welcomed and greatly appreciated. And here are a few ways you can contribute:

Licensing

Nebula Graph is under Apache 2.0 license, so you can freely download, modify, and deploy the source code to meet your needs. You can also freely deploy Nebula Graph as a back-end service to support your SaaS deployment.

In order to prevent cloud providers monetizing from the project without contributing back, we added Commons Clause 1.0 to the project. As mentioned above, we fully commit to the open source community. We would love to hear your thoughts on the licensing model and are willing to make it more suitable for the community.
