Kuzu DB devs no longer supporting the project

I've been excited about Kuzu DB as a SQLite-style graph database. It looks like the devs are moving on to something else and no longer will support it, as of 10 October.

Their message reads, "Kuzu is working on something new! We will no longer be actively supporting KuzuDB. You can access the full archive of KuzuDB here: GitHub" https://github.com/kuzudb/kuzu

With property graphs being adopting in the SQL standard, this isn’t surprising.
gkorland•1h ago
The fact that GQL is now supported by some of the relational Database, doesn't mean they'll become an alternative to native Graph Databases.
Xenoamorphous•1h ago
Yeah I guess it’s like saying that relational DBs supporting native JSON type meant the end of NoSQL DBs.
monero-xmr•32m ago
It pretty much did except for very specific use cases

>relational DBs supporting native JSON type meant the end of NoSQL DBs

This holds true for 95% of cases of well-made software.

Oh too bad. Small fast embedded graph DBs are rare. Any good alternatives?
gkorland•1h ago
You should check FalkorDB https://github.com/falkordb/falkordb
scosman•1h ago
Not embedded last I checked. Unless that changed.

There used to be a similarly names one called CozoDB[0] which was pretty awesome but it looks like its development significantly slowed down.

Someone linked to some duckdb extension above that shows some graph support.

Abandoned for a new project. Kuzu is Japanese for unwanted/useless scraps or garbage, so I suppose it's still living up to its name.
jlund-molfese•1h ago
For anyone who's curious—the project was originally named after the Sumerian word for "wisdom"[1].

Wow the Japanese were pretty savage back then.

Kuzu means sheep in turkish.
wey-gu•1h ago
Yeah, so sad as a contributor and downstream user.

Hopefully they will ship cool new things.

Strangely enough, it was just that day when I discovered this formidable embeddable graph database that the "archived" banner also appeared. Bummer. I wonder why they stopped as there was a long string of commits for years.

Note that the repo mentions "some of our resources are moving from our website to GitHub: "Docs: http://kuzudb.github.io/docs, Blog: http://kuzudb.github.io/blog" but those links currently redirect to kuzudb.com. I presume they won't be covering the domain name costs in the future and that the transition is in-progress.

PGQ requires you to write using SQL and read using a graph query language. GQL is a standalone language that supports reads/writes. But much of the community is still using cypher.

I use the Python Kuzu graph database library, super convenient for local experiments. I see no reason to stop using it. The underlying database is archived on GitHub so it isn’t going anywhere.
