Overview


TigerGraph is an enterprise graph database designed for real-time graph analytics at massive scale. Unlike traditional graph databases focused on transactional workloads, TigerGraph excels at complex analytical queries across very large graphs. The platform is used by enterprises for fraud detection, recommendation systems, supply chain optimization, and AI/ML applications.


TigerGraph's native parallel graph processing engine can analyze billions of edges in real-time, making it suitable for applications requiring deep graph analytics. The platform uses GSQL, a SQL-like language for graph queries, making it more accessible to developers familiar with relational databases.
