hydra-db/hydradb
HydraDB - fast graph database on object storage
About the project
HydraDB is a distributed graph database written in Rust that stores the graph durably on S3-compatible object storage, with separate data nodes and indexers. It supports OpenCypher queries, GraphBLAS traversal, Neo4j Bolt 5.x drivers, and an HTTPS query API.
Useful for
- Run a single-node HydraDB via Docker for local graph development
- Connect an existing Neo4j application to HydraDB over Bolt 5.x
- Scale indexers separately from data nodes to rebuild traversal indexes

Star trust
Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.
These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
