# Helix-DB

> An infinitely scalable graph-vector database built in Rust, designed for high throughput and low latency graph and vector applications.

Helix-DB is a high-performance, infinitely scalable graph-vector database built in Rust, designed for developers who need to build and grow graph applications with speed and reliability. It combines graph and vector query capabilities in a single database, compiling queries for maximum efficiency. Available as Helix Lite for prototyping and low-latency use cases, and Helix Enterprise for large-scale distributed deployments, it serves developers from organizations like UnitedHealthcare and is backed by Y Combinator, Nvidia, and Vercel.

- **Graph + Vector Queries** — *Helix-DB natively supports both graph and vector queries, compiled for high throughput and low latency.*
- **Built in Rust** — *The database core is written in Rust, delivering memory safety and exceptional performance without a garbage collector.*
- **Helix Lite** — *Get started quickly by running Helix Lite locally via GitHub or on Helix Cloud for prototyping and low-latency applications.*
- **Helix Enterprise** — *Scale to production workloads with the enterprise tier, designed for distributed, high-availability deployments.*
- **Python SDK** — *Use the official Python SDK (helix-py) to integrate Helix-DB into your application stack with minimal setup.*
- **HQL Query Language** — *Write expressive graph queries using HQL, Helix's purpose-built query language optimized for graph traversal and vector search.*
- **Helix Cloud** — *Deploy instantly on Helix Cloud without managing infrastructure, or self-host for full control.*
- **Open Source Core** — *The core database is open source on GitHub, with an active community on Discord for support and collaboration.*
