Dgraph 图数据库试用

Fast, Transactional, Distributed Graph Database.

简介

Dgraph is a horizontally scalable and distributed graph database, providing ACID transactions, consistent replication and linearizable reads. It’s built from ground up to perform for a rich set of queries. Being a native graph database, it tightly controls how the data is arranged on disk to optimize for query performance and throughput, reducing disk seeks and network calls in a cluster.

Dgraph’s goal is to provide Google production level scale and throughput, with low enough latency to be serving real time user queries, over terabytes of structured data. Dgraph supports GraphQL-like query syntax, and responds in JSON and Protocol Buffers over GRPC and HTTP.

入门

To get started with Dgraph, follow:

• Installation to queries in 3 steps via docs.dgraph.io.
• A longer interactive tutorial via tour.dgraph.io.
• Tutorial and presentation videos on YouTube channel.

安装

Running the dgraph/standalone docker image is the quickest way to get started with Dgraph. This standalone image is meant for quickstart purposes only. It is not recommended for production environments.

Ensure that Docker is installed and running on your machine.

Now, it’s just a matter of running the following command, and you have Dgraph up and running.

docker run –rm -it -p 8000:8000 -p 8080:8080 -p 9080:9080 dgraph/standalone:latest

访问

The dgraph/standalone image setup comes with the useful Dgraph UI called Ratel. Just visit http://localhost:8000 from your browser, and you will be able to access it.
