Graph Chat with Weimo Liu, CEO of PuppyGraph
Do you always need a graph database?
Nah. Every data architecture, team, and use case is unique and when you need graph queries but you don’t necessarily need graph persistence, then a graph query engine might just be the right fit.
As part of this ongoing Graph Chat video series, Amy Hodler, Executive Director of GraphGeeks, interviewed Weimo Liu, CEO of PuppyGraph, at ODSC West in San Francisco. Catch their discussion below!
Graph Chat Interview with Weimo Liu on Querying Petabytes without the ETL Headache
In this Graph Chat, Weimo Liu talks with Amy Hodler about how the PuppyGraph team is changing the graph technology landscape.
Unlike traditional graph databases, PuppyGraph is a graph query engine that queries data directly where it lives – no data movement required.
Key highlights from their chat include:
- Zero ETL: Query data lakes and data warehouses (SQL, Delta Lake, etc.) as a graph without moving a single byte.
- Scalability: Designed for petabyte-scale graph analytics in industries like cybersecurity, fraud detection, and healthcare.
- Simplify GraphRAG by turning existing tables into a knowledge graph for chatbots.
- Fast Deployment: What used to take six months of data pipelining now takes just weeks via simple schema mapping.
More about PuppyGraph
PuppyGraph is a graph query engine that allows you to query your relational data as a graph in real time with zero ETL, allowing your team to seamlessly query one or multiple data stores as a unified graph model. Capable of scaling with petabytes of data and executing complex 10-hop queries in seconds, PuppyGraph supports use cases from enhancing LLMs with knowledge graphs to fraud detection, cybersecurity and more.
Companies that choose to use the PuppyGraph graph analytics engine tap into the existing strengths of their own data while bypassing the cost, latency, and maintenance hurdles of traditional graph databases. As of today, PuppyGraph supports both Cypher and Gremlin query languages.
