dgraph-io/dgraph Alternatives
distributed graph database / GraphQL graph database
Dgraph is a horizontally scalable, distributed graph database that natively supports GraphQL with ACID transactions.

Solves the same problem with a different architecture or at a different layer. Expect to rewrite the integration.
Older generation, or narrower
An earlier or more limited way to do the job. Still the right call when you need something small, proven, or CPU-only.
