Slater - Low-RAM fast graph DB designed for local replica graphs.

Slater serves graphs that don't fit in memory — hundreds of millions of nodes and billions of edges in low hundreds of MB of RAM — over standard Bolt, so any neo4j driver just works, with disk-native vector search sitting next to the graph, and it takes live, durable writes without giving that up. Resident memory is set by a cache budget you choose, not by the size of the graph. Perfect for GraphRAGs and LLM memory
