Do you have any other WASM-based clients?


The idea is to publish others as well at some point, probably Go will be the next one :) Which one would you like to see?


This is our first WASM client, so no other clients at this point.


Because Memgraph uses an in-memory storage engine and is implemented in C++ it's faster than Neo4j and more suited for analyzing real-time data, for example from a Kafka data stream. It also provides more support for implementing custom procedures in Python, Rust and C/C++ compared to Neo4j which is only doing Java.


Why do you think that? Is there a record of engineering performance going down in other companies that had exits?


Best article I read in a long time, kudos


Can I scrape Twitch data on my own?


Sure, here is the scraper: https://github.com/memgraph/twitch-analytics-demo/tree/main/... and let me know if you have any questions regarding the Twitch API, since you have to make your own account :)


It would be interesting to see how these benchmark results compare to other graph databases like neo4j.


That's a good point. Benchmarking different systems is always tricky to get right, but we'll get something out soon.

The focus of these benchmarks was to explain to our existing community how we improved things and share with the broader software engineering community has worked for us in the hope it could help others working on graph projects.


Try to include Dgraph, if it's similar (I'm not familiar with Memgraph).


Dgraph is actually very different on many aspects like data model, query language, even overall focus & target use-cases.

In my opinion it will be tricky to have a fair comparison. You can have a look at the benchmarks they published against Neo4j. It seemed like there was a lot of disagreements on both side.

What other graph databases would you like us to have a look at?
