HelixDB, Open-Source Hybrid Graph-Vector Database

Hacker News

Hey HN! A friend and I have been working on HelixDB, a graph-vector database, part-time at university. We're super excited to release the first version of our Graph Database! Helix is being built to incorporate both graph and vector types for building RAG and other AI applications. This release introduces our graph DB, our new query language, HelixQL, and our CLI tool to help run Helix. You can install helix locally by running `curl -sSL https://install.helix-db.com | bash` We'd love you guys to play around with it and hear what you think.
