Like DuckDB for tables, it ran in-process from Python, Node.js, Rust, Java, Go or C with no server, stored a graph in a single database file, and answered Cypher queries through a columnar, vectorized executor. Later releases added vector indexes and full-text search so that graph traversal, keyword and embedding retrieval could be combined in one query, which made it popular for GraphRAG experiments and for LangChain and LlamaIndex integrations.\n\nThe project is no longer maintained. The GitHub repository was archived on 10 October 2025 with the note that the team was working on something new, the last PyPI release (0.11.3) was published the same day, and the kuzudb.com website and docs went offline. In February 2026 an Apple filing under the EU Digital Markets Act disclosed that Apple had agreed on 9 October 2025 to acquire Kùzu Inc.; Apple has not announced plans for the software. Existing releases remain installable and usable under the MIT license, and community forks such as RyuGraph (Predictable Labs) and bighorn (Kineviz) continue development, but no security fixes or new features should be expected from the original project.",93 "capabilities": [94 "In-process property-graph storage in a single file",95 "Cypher query language",96 "Vector index and full-text search extensions",97 "Bindings for Python, Node.js, Rust, Java, Go and C"98 ],99 "comparison_notes": "Neo4j is the server-based alternative with commercial support and a managed cloud.
