[Postgres Build 2020] Apache AGE, the Extension of PostgreSQL
Hello everyone! On December 8th, Bitnine participated in a virtual conference held by Postgres Build 2020. Our technical engineer Eya has introduced the PG community to the new project we have been working on called, Apache AGE (incubating). A few hundred people attended her session and showed interest in our new project. This open-source project is a new generation of a multi-model graph database for the modern complex data environment!
Introducing Apache AGE!
Apache AGE is an extension of PostgreSQL which supports all the functionalities and features of PostgreSQL and offers a graph model in addition. Users with a relational background and data model who are in need of having a graph model on top of their existing relational model can use this extension with minimal effort because they will be able to use existing data without having to migrate them to a graph database.
9 Advantages of Apache AGE
