**The Only Native GraphQL Database With A Graph Backend.**

**Note:** The default ACL userId is `groot` and the password is `password` -- please log in and change the password immediately.

Dgraph is a horizontally scalable and distributed GraphQL database with a graph backend. It provides ACID transactions, consistent replication, and linearizable reads. It's built from the ground up to perform 
a rich set of queries. Being a native GraphQL database, it tightly controls how the
data is arranged on disk to optimize for query performance and throughput,
reducing disk seeks and network calls in a cluster.

Dgraph's goal is to provide Google production-level scale and throughput,
with low enough latency to serve real-time user queries over terabytes of structured data.
Dgraph supports [GraphQL query syntax](https://dgraph.io/docs/main/query-language/), and responds in [JSON](http://www.json.org/) and [Protocol Buffers](https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/) over [GRPC](http://www.grpc.io/) and HTTP. Dgraph is written using the Go Programming Language.

## Get Started
**To get started with Dgraph, follow:**

- Installation to queries in 3 steps via [dgraph.io/docs/](https://dgraph.io/docs/get-started/).
- A longer interactive tutorial via [dgraph.io/tour/](https://dgraph.io/tour/).
- Tutorial and
presentation videos on [YouTube channel](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCghE41LR8nkKFlR3IFTRO4w/featured).

## Client Libraries
The Dgraph team maintains several [officially supported client libraries](https://dgraph.io/docs/clients/). There are also libraries contributed by the community [unofficial client libraries](https://dgraph.io/docs/clients#unofficial-dgraph-clients).
