HelixDB: an open-source graph-vector database written in Rust built for RAG and AI applications. Homepage | Docs | Discord | X
HelixDB is a high-performance graph-vector database designed with a focus on developer experience and performance. Built in Rust and powered by LMDB as its storage engine, it combines the reliability of a proven storage layer with modern features tailored for AI and vector-based applications.
We are currently using LMDB via Heed3, a rust wrapper built by the amazing team over at Meilisearch.
Key Features
Fast & Efficient : Built for performance we're currently 1000x faster than Neo4j, 100x faster than TigerGraph and on par with Qdrant for vectors.
: Built for performance we're currently 1000x faster than Neo4j, 100x faster than TigerGraph and on par with Qdrant for vectors. RAG-First : Native support for graph and vector data types, making it ideal for RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) and AI applications
: Native support for graph and vector data type
