TuGraph Roadmap
1. Introduction
This document outlines the future development plans for TuGraph, including features currently under development, those not in the development pipeline, and completed functionalities not included in the open-source version.
TuGraph aims to be an open-source, high-performance graph database. It adopts a centralized storage approach for graph data and, in the short term, does not consider data sharding. Instead, it employs a master-slave replication mode to address high-concurrency read scenarios, while utilizing cloud-based storage solutions to address storage capacity challenges.
2. Completed Functionalities
TuGraph was open-sourced on September 1, 2022, and has received regular bug fixes and enhancements based on community feedback.
