GraphUniverse Architecture Design and Performance Practices
Since the 1970s, data management systems have made significant advancements and have been widely used as the backbone for business data storage and processing. However, with the growing popularity of complex relational analysis, existing systems are facing increasing architectural and performance challenges. To address these issues, we analyzed the problems and their root causes in existing solutions, proposed a data management paradigm centered around graph models, and developed a graph data management platform called GraphUniverse. This presentation will introduce some of our design considerations and development practices regarding GraphUniverse.
