LadybugDB

Product: LadybugDB describes itself as an embedded columnar graph database built for analytical workloads and agentic applications.
Query language: Ladybug uses the Cypher query language with a structured property graph model.
Storage and execution: Its core features include columnar disk storage, vectorized and factorized query processing, multi-core query parallelism, and join algorithms.
Transactions: Ladybug transactions are atomic, durable, and serializable, which the docs describe as ACID-compliant.
License: Source code and precompiled binaries are distributed under the MIT License, which the docs say permits commercial and proprietary applications.
Integrations: The integrations page lists Snowflake Native App and a PostgreSQL extension for running Cypher against host-platform tables.
Extensions: Official extensions include support for ADBC sources, Azure storage, Delta Lake, DuckDB, full-text search, Iceberg, JSON, Neo4j migration, PostgreSQL, SQLite, Unity Catalog, and vector similarity search.
Client APIs: Official client APIs are listed for Python, Node.js, Java, Rust, Go, Swift, C, and C++.
Platforms: The CLI and C/C++ APIs have precompiled support for Windows, macOS, and Linux; the docs also describe Android support for the Java API and iOS support for Swift.
Web tools: Ladybug Explorer is described as a web-based interface for querying and visualizing a database, and a Ladybug MCP Server exposes a database as a tool for LLMs and agents.
Deployment: Ladybug supports on-disk and in-memory modes; in-memory data is not persisted and is lost when the process ends.
Concurrency limit: The docs allow one read-write Database object or multiple read-only Database objects to access the same database concurrently; multiple processes that need writes should use an API server pattern.
Support: The product site says community support is available and commercial enterprise support contracts are available.
Security claims: The product site characterizes LadybugDB as built for highly regulated industries but does not state a specific security certification or compliance standard on that page.
