What is Dydra?

Dydra

Handle any of this lately? Of course you have.

Dydra is a cloud-based graph database. Whether you’re using existing social network APIs or want to build your own, Dydra treats your customers' social graph as exactly that.

With Dydra, your data is natively stored as a property graph, directly representing the relationships in the underlying data.

Expressive

With Dydra, you access and update your data via an industry-standard query language specifically designed for graph processing, SPARQL. It’s easy to use and we provide a handy in-browser query editor to help you learn.

# find all of bob's friends of friends
SELECT ?friend, ?friend_of_friend WHERE {
  :bob :has_friend ?friend .
  ?friend :has_friend ?friend_of_friend .
}

SPARQL property pathns can make this even easier.

SELECT ?friend WHERE {
  <http://www.w3.org/People/Berners-Lee/card#i> foaf:knows{1,4} ?friend .
}

Fast

Dydra is built from the ground up to be performant for use cases built on graphs, like social networking. The performance benefits are impressive.

Flexible

You can use Dydra for lots of use cases, not just social networking. Lots of problems translate well to graphs; we have customers exploring everything from movie relationships to transaction logs.
