People, Product, and Partnerships Drive Explosive Growth at Dgraph

PALO ALTO, Calif. - Californer -- Dgraph Rises to the Top Graph Database on GitHub With 11 G2 Badges and 11M Downloads

Dgraph Labs ("Dgraph"), the #1 open source graph database, today announced it has catapulted to the top spot on GitHub as well as secured numerous accolades across other success metrics. With explosive growth in the open source community combined with the stellar expansion of its commercial product, Dgraph is well-positioned for market disruption.

Founded in 2016, Dgraph is based on the idea that everyone should have access to the same level of graph database technology that the likes of Google and Facebook have built. Since releasing version one of Dgraph in 2017, it has accumulated more than 16,000 GitHub stars, making it the number one open source graph database on GitHub.

This success is mirrored in the rapid growth in monthly downloads. The company recently revealed it has had 11 million Docker downloads and averaged over 1.5 million downloads per month in 2021.

"At Google, we had many backends serving different data models, with no interaction with each other. Unifying them into one data graph allowed Google to advance from simple keyword searches to truly understanding user queries and serving responses," said Manish Jain, Dgraph's founder and CTO. "This need to unify disparate datasets into one graph system has become widespread. That's why I built Dgraph, the next-generation graph database designed to serve live user traffic across complex interconnected schemas and massive datasets. It is truly humbling to see just how massive the Dgraph community has grown and how well Dgraph has been received, in a relatively short time period."

Customers are discovering and seeing clear benefits to using Dgraph's native-GraphQL graph database, as evidenced by the 11 G2 badges Dgraph earned in their spring report season. These include a leader badge in the graph database category as well as a top performer badge in the larger and more competitive NoSQL category. The G2 badges recognize Dgraph's ease of use, customer support, and stellar relationships.

News of Dgraph's success across these metrics comes on the heels of bringing on board a new CEO. Gary Hagmueller was announced as Dgraph's CEO in early March, bringing more than 20 years of technology startup experience to the series A-funded business. The move signaled upcoming commercial expansion.

"Taking the top spot on GitHub and our exponential download growth underscores how vibrant, engaging, and global Dgraph has become," said Hagmueller. "We value the continued support, and it's great to see our community of users and enterprise customers finding success with Dgraph."
