frankengraphdb: a Rust graph database built AI-first with 4,500+ commits
doodlestein · x · 2026-10-13
- Engineer Jeff Dickey (doodlestein) open-sourced frankengraphdb, a blank-slate, memory-safe property-graph database in Rust with unified MVCC/time-travel/branches/replication over a fountain-coded commit stream, worst-case-optimal + factorized joins, incremental everything, and deterministic auditable results.
- The repo is already 4,500+ commits deep, and the author says he hadn't actually worked with it hands-on until today besides initial planning — most work was done by AI agents.
- He also detailed his skills system: deep "machines" for complexity management and multi-agent adversarial reviews, making it a real-world case study in large-scale AI-assisted engineering workflows.
