HelixDB: an open-source graph-vector database built from scratch in Rust.

Website | Docs | Discord | X/Twitter

HelixDB is a database that makes it easy to build all the components needed for an AI application in a single platform.

You no longer need a separate application DB, vector DB, graph DB, or application layers to manage the multiple storage locations to build the backend of any application that uses AI, agents or RAG. Just use Helix.

HelixDB primarily operates with a graph + vector data model, but it can also support KV, documents, and relational data.

Start by installing the Helix CLI tool to deploy Helix locally.

1. Install CLI

   curl -sSL "https://install.helix-db.com" | bash

2. Initialize a project

   mkdir <path-to-project> && cd <path-to-project>
   helix init

3. Write queries

   Open your newly created .hx files and start writing your schema and queries. Head over to our docs for more information about writing queries.

   N::User {
      INDEX name: String,
      age: U32
   }
   
   QUERY getUser(user_name: String) =>
      user <- N<User>({name: user_name})
      RETURN user

4. (Optional) Check your queries compile

   helix check

5. Deploy your queries to their API endpoints

   helix push dev

6. Start calling them using our TypeScript SDK or Python SDK. For example:

   import HelixDB from "helix-ts";
   
   // Create a new HelixDB client
   // The default port is 6969
   const client = new HelixDB();
   
   // Query the database
   await client.query("addUser", {
     name: "John",
     age: 20,
   });
   
   // Get the created user
   const user = await client.query("getUser", {
     user_name: "John",
   });
   
   console.log(user);
