    MAGE - Memgraph Advanced Graph Extensions :crystal_ball: (by memgraph)

  • Memgraph MAGE or Memgraph Advanced Graph Extensions is an open-source library for running graph algorithms exposed as Cypher procedures. It focuses on real-time analysis and implements a few online algorithms like PageRank, community detection and node2vec. These algorithms are suited for streaming data that needs to be processed incrementally whenever a new node or relationship is created, or existing ones are updated.

  • mgclient

    C/C++ Memgraph Client

  • There is a broad number of drivers in many different programming languages available for both solutions. While Memgraph only maintains a few in-house drivers that it develops and supports (C, C++, Python, Rust), most Neo4j drivers can also be used with Memgraph. This is due to the fact that both solutions use the Bolt protocol, labeled property graph model and Cypher query language.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
