🚀 Announcement: Launching a Community-Driven Fork of Dgraph

Hi everyone,

I worked at Hypermode (the company behind Dgraph) from 2019-2020 and 2022 to 2025, where I contributed to improving product stability, cache efficiency, and began laying the groundwork for a new query planner. All work I did during my employment remains the property of Hypermode under their licensing terms.

This project is an independent fork of Dgraph, created under the terms of the original open-source license. The goal is to continue innovating in a direction I believe will best serve developers and large-scale users. This fork is not affiliated with or endorsed by Hypermode.

🎯 Vision

My objective is to build a faster, more scalable, and more developer-friendly graph database—potentially becoming the default choice for modern graph workloads. I’m opening this up to the community and would greatly value your feedback, ideas, and contributions.

📌 Initial Roadmap

Complete GraphQL API support

Vector Index Upgrades – support for billion-scale vector search

Improved Indexing Options – e.g., full n-gram index support

Next-Gen Mutation Pipeline (in progress)

Vectorized Query Engine with pushdown execution similar to DuckDB

Query Planner Enhancements – smarter cost models & operator fusion
