If you're interested in the idea of databases built from scratch since the time this post was written in 2017 (based on GitHub contributions info), here are a few:
- Materialize: 2017
- DuckDB: 2018
- RedPanda: 2019
- TigerBeetle: 2020
KùzuDB[1] is an in-process graph database built from scratch and came out of academia too. We are from Data Systems Group at University of Waterloo, started since Sep 2020, and have a small team actively work on it now.
These two posts[2,3] explain where we are from and where we're going, if anyone is interested.

Promising work!
Thanks!

Interesting. Part of my pessimism stems from seeing bad graph engines over the decades but perhaps you are here to change exactly that. I will keep track of the latest developments in your git repo. I wish the very best!
Thanks!
Yes, we really want to change that situation and think we have some good ideas. If you've used graph databases, we would love to hear and learn from your use cases too, you can reach us at: contact@kuzudb.com.

I saw you recently integrated FTS which is very exciting. I love everything about Kuzu and want to use it, but currently tempted to use Turso to allow for multiple sqlite dbs per user (eg one for each device).
Or would it be possible to use Kuzu to query data stored on sqlite?
Great work through and through tho. Really amazing to see the progress you’ve all made!
> would it be possible to use Kuzu to query data stored on sqlite? Yes, we have a SQLite extension (https://docs.kuzudb.com/extensions/attach/rdbms/) that can read data from SQLite databases.
> Could it be viable to have one or multiple kuzu databases per user? What’s the story like for backups with kuzu? You can have multiple databases, but con only connect to one at a time for now. We don't have support for backups for now, but we'd like to hear more about your specific use cases. Would be great if you could join our discord (https://kuzudb.com/chat) or contact us through contact@kuzudb.com, and we can chat more there.
