Memgraph as a Graph Analytics Engine
Blog post from Memgraph
Memgraph serves as a graph analytics engine offering multiple storage modes, including in-memory transactional, in-memory analytical, and on-disk transactional, each with distinct advantages. The in-memory analytical mode, specifically highlighted for its speed and efficiency, allows for rapid concurrent data imports by eliminating Delta objects, which reduces memory overhead and prevents transaction conflicts, making it ideal for large-scale data operations. An example of its application is seen with Sayari, a company managing a vast public records database, which significantly improved its data import efficiency and performance by transitioning to Memgraph's in-memory analytical mode, enabling them to rebuild a graph database of 1.4 billion nodes every two weeks. Despite Memgraph’s robust capabilities, choosing the right storage mode depends on project-specific requirements, and the Memgraph team offers support through community engagement and direct consultations to assist users in making informed decisions.
