Download KuzuDB – Fast Embeddable Graph Database with Cypher Query Language

KuzuDB is a free, open-source embeddable graph database management system designed for high-performance graph queries on structured data. Written in C++, it is built to be fast, lightweight, and easy to integrate into applications — functioning similarly to SQLite but for graph data and Cypher queries instead of relational tables and SQL.

KuzuDB implements the property graph model and the Cypher query language, making it familiar for developers who have worked with Neo4j. It excels at complex graph traversals, pattern matching, and analytical queries over connected data, with performance benchmarks that significantly outperform traditional graph databases on many workloads.

KuzuDB offers Python, C++, Java, Node.js, and Rust APIs, making it accessible across a wide range of development environments. It is ideal for knowledge graphs, network analysis, fraud detection, recommendation systems, and any application where relationships between entities are central to the data model.

Key Features

• Embedded graph database — no server required, integrates directly into your application
• Supports Cypher query language for intuitive graph pattern matching and traversal
• Extremely fast on complex multi-hop graph queries and analytical workloads
• Property graph model with nodes, relationships, and typed properties
• APIs for Python, C++, Java, Node.js, Rust, and Go
• ACID-compliant transactions for data consistency and integrity
• Free and open-source under the MIT license

How to Install

1. Click the download button below or install via pip: pip install kuzu
2. For Node.js, install with: npm install kuzu
3. Create a database: db = kuzu.Database("./mydb") and a connection: conn = kuzu.Connection(db)
4. Define your schema using Cypher CREATE TABLE statements and load your data.
5. Query your graph with Cypher: conn.execute("MATCH (n) RETURN n")
