Anyone use Cayley in prod? An old job used Neo4j, and the graph concept was great for specific use cases. As a lightweight graph store, Cayley was really exciting when it came out, but I haven't had a need for it since I left that job. It strikes me as really well made, and I'd love to hear any war stories.

Maintainer here, good to see Cayley on HN again :)

We've got a lot of new features on master, (GraphQL support, Gephi interfaces, Recursive iterators, etc) and are cutting a release next week.

Active work in the coming releases on tightening down the indexing and really bringing it into prod.

EDIT: Feel free to join the new Slack or the Discourse mailing list/discussion board!

How matured is it? Has someone used it for big datasets? Last time I tried it wasn't ready to cope with a 250 GB N-Triples RDF. (two years ago)

I see Cayley now supports other backends beside LevelDB. "PostgreSQL and MongoDB for distributed stores" - that's good to read.

If you add a newline after the

in the README.md that should fix your links.

Hah! Done, thank you! That probably changed when we added the Slack link

I can't understand how to use the query language. It all seems so magical!

I tried building something with Cayley once but couldn't fetch all the data I wanted in a single query, or didn't know how to, then got frustrated and deleted everything.

Do you have documentation how to get started with Cayley? I was reading this -> https://cayley.io/1-getting-started/ A little bit too short for my taste. :)
