TigerGraph is the only performant and scalable distributed graph database in the market- we are the first and only one who conducted a 100T benchmark using LDBC SNB benchmark. Unlike conventional relational databases, TigerGraph engine does not require runtime joins. Instead, all joins are determined at schema design time, and materialized during data loading time. Whenever a new join is needed, TigerGraph allows users to change schema and add new edges to amortize the runtime join cost at loading time.
