alt Hacker NewsShow HN: Minigraf – An embedded, bi-temporal graph database in Rust
A successor project to my previous attempt at building a temporal graph database (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23455516). This one builds on its predecessor's concept, but drops the dependency on another database to provide the storage, transaction and query engines. Minigraf is self-contained, packaged as a library crate, embeds into your application, and supports full bi-temporality.
Why do you need another database and another query language for this?
Existing cypher based databases which support typed properties (including timestamps) on relationship tables can handle this use case just fine.
