If your use case is OLAP based, please check it out PuppyGraph. It’s a graph query engine that sits on top of your Lakehouse (no ETL required). Our benchmark has shown consistently that 10-hop queries across billions of edges in <2 seconds. Our customers including some most data demanding companies like Coinbase, Datadog, Palo Alto Network, Netskope, AMD, etc.

It's not, its actually our prod db with direct user usage - we self host a large dgraph cluster. We have a very large number of people manage their car and car histories with us and host a full replica of the UK MOT Database.

We're fine with clickhouse and redshift for the OLAP work we do. I've been looking at ParaQuery lately if I really want to speed that up.

PuppyGraph is a good fit for OLAP for sure.

We’re just two young founders sharing what we’ve been building, so I’ll take the drive-by competitor plug as a compliment :)

Definitely a different focus though. Helix is OLTP, built for operational graph + vector workloads, especially apps/agent memory where low-latency traversals and writes are concerned.
