Karim from Memgraph here. That's a good question we get really often. As you can imagine we had our hands full for the past few years building a DB from scratch, and so we didn't really have the resources to put together an open-source project the way we imagine it. It's something we'll explore this year to try to come up with the best way to do it.

The intended usage isn't that one because Memgraph is built as a server database system. The communication has to go via the binary protocol. But, because Memgraph is implemented in C/C++ and there is the C API for the query modules already in-place, offering an embedded solution is possible. This feature isn't high on the priorities list at the moment. What would be your target platforms? Mobile or maybe something on the IoT side?

#18How does this compare to Dgraph? Most recent discussion about it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23031762
Also, does it support GraphQL?

#19How do you handle high-availability? Also, do you have some sort of persistency model for the community version which doesn't have HA?
