About
Apache AGE (A Graph Extension) is an open-source extension of PostgreSQL that provides the functionality of a Graph database. AGE was first developed by Bitnine based on their PostgreSQL forked graph database AgensGraph. The code was donated to The Apache Software Foundation in 2019 as an Apache Incubator project.
It allows using queries in the Cypher query language in unison with the standard SQL to store and query property graph data consisting of nodes, edges, and their properties.
