At its core is a massively scalable multi-model database that unifies graph, vector, document, and key-value data with fulltext, geospatial, and vector searchcreating the System of Context, the bridge between enterprise data and LLMs.

Were a global team based in California and Cologne, united by curiosity, collaboration, and a passion for helping developers, data engineers, and technology leaders innovate faster and smarter with AI.
