What People Say
In line with our philosophy of 'building a lakehouse from spare parts', we were looking for an in-process graph database to run lineage queries: Kuzu is very fast and has great foundations as the team behind it, and handles all the strange inferences we throw at it.

Jacopo Tagliabue
Founder of Bauplan Labs
Embedded DBs are having a renaissance. RDBMS: SQLite, OLAP: DuckDB, Graph: KuzuDB, Search: Chroma. The developer experience is so good on these. Things just work. Really cool to see.

Chris Riccomini

Kuzu is a really good graph database. If DuckDB is as an emerging power in the relational database world, there is Kuzu in the GDBMS world, and it is open source and faithful to the basics.

Jeong Yitae

KuzuDB has straightforward integrations with Polars, NetworkX, Pandas, PyArrow and...Torch Geometric! Meaning that you can export data towards Graph Machine Learning with one method call.

One of my favorite recent discoveries is @kuzudb. Super lightweight and supports the Cypher query language, such a nice project for graph analytics.
