## :clipboard: Description Memgraph is a high-performance, in-memory graph database that powers real-time AI context and graph analytics. Built in C/C++, it serves as the graph engine for GraphRAG pipelines, AI memory systems, and agentic workflows — delivering sub-millisecond multi-hop traversals for any system that needs structured, connected context alongside semantic vector or text search. Memgraph provides both in a single query layer: built-in text and vector indexes for similarity search combined with full graph traversal, so retrieval pipelines can run as a single atomic database operation instead of being scattered across multiple systems. The same architecture drives real-time graph analytics for fraud detection, network analysis, infrastructure monitoring, and other operational workloads where performance matters. Memgraph is fully compatible with Neo4j’s Cypher query language, ACID-compliant, and highly available. ## :zap: Features #### AI & Graph Intelligence - **Indexes** - Built-in vector indexes power hybrid graph retrieval with similarity search in a single query, alongside text and geospatial indexes for keyword and location-aware queries. - **[MAGE](src/mage/README.md) algorithm library** - 40+ graph algorithms in C++, Python, and CUDA including PageRank, community detection, GNN-based link prediction, temporal graph networks, embeddings, and native ML. - **Atomic GraphRAG** - Pivot search, graph expansion, ranking, and prompt assembly expressed as a single Cypher query. - **LLM utility module** - Graph-aware context formatting for large language models. - **[AI Toolkit](https://github.com/memgraph/ai-toolkit)** - Integrations with popular agentic frameworks, MCP server, and ready-made components for building GraphRAG, AI memory, and agent workflows on top of Memgraph. - **Real-time schema introspection** - `SHOW SCHEMA INFO` returns the full graph ontology for Text2Cypher and AI agent integration. #### Performance & Query Power - **In-memory C/C++ engine** - Sub-millisecond traversals with [benchmarked performance](https://memgraph.com/benchgraph). - **Deep-path traversals** - Accumulators and path filtering without additional application logic. - **Custom query modules** - Extend with Python, Rust, and C/C++ code natively. - **Parallel query execution** - Concurrent query processing for high-throughput workloads. - **Native Parquet & JSONL loading** - Load data directly from Parquet and JSONL files on local disk, S3, or HTTP endpoints. - **Streaming support** - Ingest from Kafka, Pulsar, and RedPanda with dynamic graph algorithms that react to changes in real time. #### Enterprise - **High availability** - Raft-based coordination with automatic failover. - **Multi-tenancy** - Isolated databases with per-tenant role assignments. - **Fine-grained access control** - Role-based and label-based permissions at the node and edge level. - **Authentication & authorization** - SSO integration, user impersonation, and 30+ granular permissions. - **Encryption in transit, monitoring, backup & restore.** ## :video_game: Memgraph Playground You don't need to install anything to try out Memgraph.
