JanusGraph is an open-source, distributed graph database designed to manage and query massive graphs spanning hundreds of billions of vertices and edges. It facilitates complex graph traversals while supporting a wide range of storage backends and search integrations, making it ideal for modern, production-grade applications.
About JanusGraph
Engineered for elastic and linear scalability, JanusGraph distributes graph data across multi-machine clusters with built-in replication and fault tolerance. It natively integrates with the Apache TinkerPop™ stack, enabling the use of Gremlin for powerful queries. The database supports both transactional (OLTP) and analytical (OLAP) workloads with Apache Spark integration and seamlessly works with several storage systems like Cassandra, HBase, and Bigtable as well as search platforms such as Elasticsearch and Solr.
