LadybugDB (https://github.com/LadybugDB/ladybug) at this point seems to be the only sustainable fork. When deciding what to do about the Kuzu archival on https://gdotv.com, we've gone with maintaining support for the last available version of Kuzu (it's still heavily used from what I'm seeing) whilst introducing support for LadybugDB. I've looked into a few other forks and at this point in time none seem to be actively maintained for more than a few weeks before getting dropped.


Thanks, that’s interesting - I didn’t know that Ladybug was a KuzuDB fork.


Ever try https://gdotv.com with it? Really interesting to see folks still using Kuzu despite the archival status. We decided to maintain support for that reason, it's been left in a fairly stable rate which is fantastic. Might be worth checking out LadybugDB (the main fork), migration is pretty easy.


That's coming to Postgres 19 this year, had a brief exchange with a committer earlier this week and it's actually available in the Postgres repo to try (need to run your own build of course). Very exciting development!


do you have a roadmap in mind for this fork?


plenty of those - I've had to work with dozens of different graph databases integrating them on https://gdotv.com, save for maybe 1-2 exceptions in the list of supported databases on our website, they're all production ready and either backed by a vendor or open-source (or sometimes both, e.g. Apache AGE for Azure PostgreSQL). There are some technologies that have been around for a long time but really flying under the radar, despite being used a lot in enterprise (e.g. JanusGraph).


Agreed, there's been a literal explosion in the last 3 months of new graph databases coded from scratch, clearly largely LLM assisted. I'm having to keep track of the industry quite a bit to decide what to add support for on https://gdotv.com and frankly these days it's getting tedious.


I'm turning off my brain and using neo4j


proof that Neo4j won the popularity contest!


Neo4j is pretty nice.


Figurative!
