xkcd99··on What Every Competent Graph DBMS Should Do
just one question for the author, why does this system feel more like a relational system than a graph database system ? you ask users to define schema (which I think neo4j doesn't do) and also I think the concept of this rel table which I find in your blog is not present in any other graph db
xkcd99··on What Every Competent Graph DBMS Should Do
in gdbms, there is the concept of "predefined joins" where you define a relationship edge that directly connects 2 nodes, i don't know how these guys do it, but at least in neo4j that's the concept

edit: just saw their blog, they ask you to define a "rel table" and that has to define all the joins and they load it from there

xkcd99··on Show HN: Kùzu: An Embeddable GDBMS like DuckDB/SQLite from UWaterloo
When you say scalability, how much are we talking about here ? Can it handle around 50 gb or 100 gb datasets ?

Also, going through the docs it seems you support only csv data ingestion currently right ? Any plan on supporting json or parquet and other formats ?

Another thing, do you have support for any in built graph algorithms (like path finding, shortest path, centrality) ?
