Summary

RedisGraph v1.0 has been released as a general availability module for Redis, offering graph database functionality. Unlike other graph databases, RedisGraph uses adjacency matrices and GraphBLAS to deliver fast and efficient graph operations, with initial benchmarks showing speeds of 6-600 times faster than existing graph databases. The new release is built on top of Redis's single-threaded process and leverages a threadpool for concurrent query execution, allowing for high throughput and low latency. Benchmark tests using the TigerGraph benchmark tool showed that RedisGraph outperformed other graph databases in both single request response time and parallel request throughput, with improvements ranging from 2-15,000 times faster than existing solutions. The release is part of a roadmap to further improve performance through profiling and adding new features.
