Interesting comparison of performance of KuzuDB - an embeddable graph database, and Neo4j.

Key takeaways:

  1. KuzuDB seems faster than Neo4j across the board! (Upto 188x).
  2. Features like vectorized query execution, morsel-driven parallelism, worst-case optimal joins, and factorized execution perhaps contribute to this.    
  3. Embeddability is a big usability win.    
  4. No insights into where Neo4j is faster than KuzuDB. Neo4j is likely to support more features since KuzuDB is quite new.


There is another graph db which is in-mem - better to compare with - memgraph


Yes, they also claims that they are 120x faster than neo4j.

I think a study around KuzuDB vs. Memgraph will be interesting.
