shaolincoder··on HexaDb – A graph database on RocksDb using triples
This is a triplestore based on RocksDb. I have been working on this for a while. Adding more query capabilities. The query language is JSON based (as opposed to SPARQL) and I hope easier to understand and reason about. Don't get me wrong, I think SPARQL is very powerful, but I am focusing on how we can think of normal JSON documents as graph structures and easily query them.

The read/write performance is also quite good because the underlying store is RocksDb - using the default configurations for now.

Looking for users, feedback and contributions. Hope you enjoy it.

shaolincoder··on RedisGraph: A High Performance In-Memory Graph Database as a Redis Module
Graph on Redis is cool and I get that hexastore is the way to go. Its very different from the Neo4J like graphs where the nodes and edges have properties. Hexastore is more based on the W3C RDF model. What confuses me is then why not have SPARQL as the query language?
