NebulaGraph Ranks #2 Globally Among Graph Databases: A Milestone Achieved Together

We're deeply honored to share that NebulaGraph has been recognized as the #2 graph database worldwide on the DB-Engines ranking—a milestone that belongs not to us alone, but to our entire community. This achievement reflects the collective effort of users, customers, contributors, and supporters who've believed in the power of graph technology from the very beginning.

What This Recognition Means

DB-Engines is the industry's most objective database ranking system, measuring organic traction through search trends, job listings, technical discussions, and enterprise adoption—not vendor payments. Being ranked #2 signifies that NebulaGraph has earned genuine trust across the global graph ecosystem for solving real-world challenges at scale.

This isn't just a number—it's validation that our shared vision of building a truly distributed, enterprise-ready graph database is resonating with those who need it most: developers building the next generation of intelligent applications, and enterprises transforming how they understand complex relationships in their data.

A Community Achievement

This milestone exists because of you:

• Our open-source contributors who've submitted PRs, shared production deployments, and built critical integrations with Spark, Flink, and LlamaIndex
• Our enterprise customers who trusted us with mission-critical workloads—from financial fraud detection to supply chain optimization
• Our developer community whose GitHub discussions and real-world use cases have directly shaped our roadmap
• Our partners who've integrated NebulaGraph into solutions that serve industries from finance to automotive

When we started NebulaGraph in 2018, we dreamed of creating a graph database that could handle the scale of modern applications while remaining accessible to developers. Your feedback, your challenges, and your successes have been the compass guiding our journey.

Real Impact, Real Stories

Behind this ranking are tangible outcomes our community has achieved:

• Financial institutions mapping 15-hop transaction networks to cut fraud investigation time from days to seconds
• Developers building AI applications with our Fusion GraphRAG technology—without needing to retrain their models
• Enterprises running production workloads on graphs with billions of nodes, where other solutions hit scaling walls

These stories—not rankings—are what truly matter. They're why we come to work every day, and why this community continues to grow.

With Sincere Gratitude

To everyone who has contributed to NebulaGraph's journey—whether you've opened an issue, shared a use case, deployed in production, or simply followed our progress—thank you. This ranking is yours as much as it is ours.

The best part of this achievement isn't the number—it's knowing we're building something meaningful together. Here's to the next chapter of our shared graph journey.
