TL;DR · WeSearch summary

Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand

NamiDB A graph database that lives in your S3 bucket. It embeds like DuckDB, runs as a standalone HTTP server, or sits on our hosted cloud. Same engine in all three, and the bucket is always the source of truth. Website · Documentation · RFCs · Request early access NamiDB is a graph database engine built around object storage. You write Cypher, it lays your nodes and edges out as columnar files in a bucket, and that bucket is the only source of truth. There's nothing else to run and nothing to coordinate outside the bucket itself. The same engine ships three ways: embedded as a library, as an HTTP server, or on our hosted cloud. Why now A few things had to line up before this made sense. S3 finally got conditional writes.

Excerpt limited to ~120 words for fair-use compliance. The full article is at GitHub.
