A open-source graph database that lives in your S3 bucket
NamiDB is an open-source graph database designed to operate directly within S3 buckets. It offers three deployment options: as an embedded library, a standalone HTTP server, or through a hosted cloud service. The database leverages conditional writes to ensure data integrity without the need for additional coordination tools.
- ▪NamiDB allows users to write Cypher queries, which are then stored as columnar files in an S3 bucket.
- ▪The database operates without requiring Raft, ZooKeeper, or etcd, simplifying its architecture.
- ▪NamiDB is open-sourced to fill the gap left by the archived Kùzu project, which was the only maintained columnar graph engine.

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.
