Maker

📌

In college, whilst dealing with the hardships of graph databases, my co-founder, Xav, and I set out to build something new which was easy to use, learn, and scale. Despite not having the proper qualifications, we quickly attracted the attention of developers from X and companies like United Healthcare. After dropping-out of college and moving to SF to attend Y Combinator, we've grown the repo to nearly 4k stars, executed billions of queries, and out-performed industry leading competitors. P.S: We love feedback, and criticism. Please share your thoughts and questions below!

@georgecurtiss Congrats on the launch George. This almost has its own query language, HelixQL. What influenced its design, and how does it compare to SQL, Cypher, or Gremlin?

Product Hunt

Who is HelixDB *not* for right now? Concretely, which workload types or operational requirements (multi-region HA, strict compliance, massive batch analytics, etc.) are you intentionally deprioritizing—and what principles are guiding what you build next?

Hey George, that line about the hardships of graph databases in college says a lot. Was there a specific project or assignment where you hit a wall and thought why is this so hard to learn and set up? Like a moment where you and Xav looked at each other and decided okay, we’re just going to build something better ourselves?

Graph + vector + OLTP in one engine is interesting. Are you targeting agent memory use cases primarily, or positioning this as a general-purpose database long term?
