Show HN: Helixdb – Open-source vector-graph database for AI applications (Rust)

Summary

HelixDB HelixDB is a Rust written, open-source, graph-vector database built for RAG and AI applications. Social Links Overview HelixDB is a high-performance graph-vector database designed with a focus on developer experience and performance. Built in Rust and powered by LMDB as its storage engine, it combines the reliability of a proven storage layer with modern features tailored for AI and vector-based applications. We are currently using LMDB via Heed3, a rust wrapper built by the amazing team over at Meilisearch. Key Features Fast & Efficient : Built for performance we're currently 1000x faster than Neo4j, 100x faster than TigerGraph and on par with Qdrant for vectors. : Built for performance we're currently 1000x faster than Neo4j, 100x faster than TigerGraph and on par with Qdrant for vectors. RAG-First : Native support for graph and vector data types, making it ideal for RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) and AI applications : Native support for graph and vector data types, making it ideal for RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) and AI applications Graph-Vector : Easiest database for storing relationships between nodes, vectors, or nodes AND vectors. : Easiest database for storing relationships between nodes, vectors, or nodes AND vectors. Reliable Storage : Powered by LMDB (Lightning Memory-Mapped Database) for robust and efficient data persistence : Powered by LMDB (Lightning Memory-Mapped Database) for robust and efficient data persistence ACID Compliant: Ensures data integrity and consistency Getting Started Helix CLI The Helix CLI tool can be used to check, compile and deploy Helix locally.
