HelixDB is a graph database built directly on object storage.
Story
Surfaced via Show HN at 150 points, HelixDB runs graph workloads on S3-style backends, decoupling storage cost from query infrastructure, no dedicated disk required. For anyone running GraphRAG or knowledge-graph systems, this is the cheap-and-scalable angle. I've spent real money on Neo4j hosting for graph workloads that didn't need low-latency disk. Object-storage-native graph is a category I want to test.
