Apache AGE 101: The Graph Database Hiding Inside Your Postgres
dima806_dima · x · 2026-10-20
Dima Iakubovskyi published a Medium tutorial (8 min read) introducing Apache AGE, a Postgres extension that adds graph database capabilities directly inside PostgreSQL.
The article opens with a concrete example: a four-hop question requires four self-joins in plain SQL, producing verbose and slow queries, while AGE's openCypher-based syntax expresses the same traversal concisely.
A practical starting point for developers who want graph queries on top of existing Postgres infrastructure without adopting a separate database like Neo4j.
