A comment on Apache Age, a PostgreSQL Extension with Graph Database Functionality.

What subset of the openCypher dialect specification will Apache Age support?

Every implementation is all over the place and completely non-portable. And neo4j performance leaves much to be desired.

My personal go-to is RedisGraph paired with RedisInsight for the instant visualizations. It just feels "right" and, while not perfect, is overall intuitive.

I've been following RedisGraph with great interest since I first heard about it. Fell in love with cypher but not a big fan of neo4j. Most recently I've been playing with EdgeDB (not cypher-based) which scratches my graphDB itch pretty well but it's still a little too early for me to consider adopting it in a serious project.

I'm glad there seems to be continued interest in graphDBs, I think there's a lot of potential in that space and I'm eagerly awaiting a clear winner to emerge.

We might see a clear winner in query language, not product. What is the clear winner in relational databases? SQL certainly but what product?

The Apache AGE is inspired by AgensGraph, a multimodel database fork of PostgreSQL. So it uses AgensGraph dialect.

AGE is an extension, not a fork. You can have relational tables and graphs in the same database, probably you can also use both in the same query.

That's right, AGE is designed to use both queries either separately or together. SQL (PostgreSQL), openCypher (AGE)
