Just a quick remark on graph dbs. Titan which is mentioned in the article as an example of a graph db is dead. Its successor is the Janus graph (https://github.com/JanusGraph/janusgraph).

I am surprised Dgraph isn't mentioned as an example. It is the most starred graph db on Github, and I think it is the best one in terms of performance and scalability.

Strange that they have to have such a non-standard license, when they go out of their way to mention Apache 2 several times: https://github.com/dgraph-io/dgraph/blob/master/LICENSE.md

Contrast that with Orient, who also have an Enterprise version, and they just straight-up say "Apache 2, no drama" https://github.com/orientechnologies/orientdb/blob/develop/l...

We had an absolutely miserable experience trying to get Janus to behave rationally, and thus far have had zero drama with Orient; we skipped dgraph because it does not appear to work with Gremlin, meaning one must use vendor-specific APIs to use dgraph.

Their client reminds me of the days before ORM: write a big string literal and send it to the server: https://github.com/dgraph-io/dgraph4j#running-a-query

(Dgraph author) Particularly embarrassing because I actually know the founders of Prisma ;-). Amazing folks!

They even included YugaByte, with only 2.8K GitHub stars. Dgraph crossed 11K GitHub stars and is in the top 10 Graph DBs on DB Engine now -- what would it take for us to be in the article, Søren?

Just joking. Nice article! Keep up the good work, guys!

Thanks for the heads up. I'll try to incorporate that into the article soon.
