Apache AGE
PostgreSQL extension for property graphs that enables Cypher queries alongside standard SQL.
Overview
Apache AGE transforms PostgreSQL into a graph database by adding native support for the Cypher query language within the existing relational engine. It allows teams to co-locate graph data with transactional tables, run ACID-compliant graph queries, and leverage PostgreSQL's mature ecosystem for backups, security, and extensions. The project is fully open-source and maintained by the Apache community.
Best for
- Projects already running PostgreSQL that need graph capabilities added quickly
- Teams requiring strict ACID guarantees for both relational and graph data
Trade-offs
vs Kuzu
Apache AGE for PostgreSQL-native teams wanting zero additional infra; Kuzu for lightweight, embedded AI research workflows
