Open Source Document Graph Database

AN OPEN SOURCE GRAPH DATABASE & DOCUMENT STORE

TerminusDB is a multi-model and distributed open-source graph database and document store. At it’s heart is a collaboration model providing Git-for-data features such as branch, merge, workflows, and revision control.

A document-oriented graph database with version control & collaboration model

As well as being an open-source graph database and document store, TerminusDB is also an immutable database, storing changes as deltas. Immutability enables collaboration workflows, version control, diff and patch, time travel, and the ability to branch, clone, and merge your database. Use TerminusDB to model and build data-intensive, collaborative applications.  Its features include:

Faster Time to Market

TerminusDB & TerminusCMS are fast – really fast. Build an application MVP in a single sprint.

Schema First

The flexible and extendable JSON schema syntax acts as a blueprint to model data and develop scalable applications.

Auto UI Generation

Document frames for viewing, adding, and editing data are automatically generated from your schema.

Git for Data

A versioning first database, fork, clone, branch, and merge, just like Git, to collaborate with colleagues, time travel, and develop with the safety of undo.

Document Oriented

Work with JSON documents and build relationships between documents in a powerful knowledge graph.

Easy

Quick to install, start building your apps in minutes.


take a technical deep dive

TerminusDB CTO and Co-Founder, Gavin Mendel-Gleason, has written a three-part blog explaining the technical internals of the open-source graph database and document store, TerminusDB. If you want a technical overview without marketing talk, this series is ideal for you. 

CI/CD for your database

Store data as JSON and utilize the power of graph database relationships. TerminusDB’s collaboration model lets you branch, clone, and merge your database and use workflows, approval processes, time travel, and version control to build applications that enable many users to share and use data concurrently.

TerminusDB - Build data-intensive apps fast

The TerminusDB schema language connects JSON documents into a graph. It is a distributed database with a collaboration model, designed to be like Git, but for data. Model your data and schema, store data as JSON, and use graph relationships within your queries to build data-first apps.

Building a Vector Database to Make Use of Vector Embeddings

Vector databases are all the rage at the moment and it’s not just hype. The advance of AI, which is making use of vector embeddings, has significantly increased the buzz. This article talks about how we implemented a vector database in Rust in a week to give us semantic indexing and entity resolution using OpenAI to define our embeddings.
