Dgraph vs. Neo4j vs. NoSQL vs. Python Comparison Chart

Dgraph is an open source, low-latency, high throughput, native and distributed graph database. Designed to easily scale to meet the needs of small startups as well as large companies with massive amounts of data, DGraph can handle terabytes of structured data running on commodity hardware with low latency for real time user queries. It addresses business needs and uses cases involving diverse social and knowledge graphs, real-time recommendation engines, semantic search, pattern matching and fraud detection, serving relationship data, and serving web apps.

NoSQL is a domain-specific programming language used for accessing, managing, and manipulating non-tabular databases. A NoSQL (originally referring to "non-SQL" or "non-relational") database provides a mechanism for storage and retrieval of data that is modeled in means other than the tabular relations used in relational databases. Such databases have existed since the late 1960s, but the name "NoSQL" was only coined in the early 21st century, triggered by the needs of Web 2.0 companies. NoSQL databases are increasingly used in big data and real-time web applications.NoSQL systems are also sometimes called Not only SQL to emphasize that they may support SQL-like query languages or sit alongside SQL databases in polyglot-persistent architectures. Many NoSQL stores compromise consistency (in the sense of the CAP theorem) in favor of availability, partition tolerance, and speed. Barriers to the greater adoption of NoSQL stores include the use of low-level query languages.
