Engines and managed services for property-graph workloads, including Cypher-style traversal, recommendation and shortest-path queries.
Fraudagent, a TigerGraph challenge entry, settles 20 fraud alerts in code whose build fails on any LLM import. Its verdicts match bit for bit with no API key, so the calibration bug its authors blame for clearing fraud lives in code a test can reach.
Reality
Sentinel's builder trained its alert model on fraud versus cleared cases, reaching 0.9465 AUC after three passes that over-called fraud on every case. The finished agent lets an LLM write the explanation and leaves every action to fixed bank rules.

A Strands hook recorder writes each agent step into Neo4j through Neo4j Labs' agent-memory SDK. The audit query that finds every decision touching a bad source depends on a dict lookup keyed by tool name.
Reality
Neo4j's first product since closing the GraphAware deal in August turns financial crime work into four workflow stages running over one graph joined from the separate systems a bank already has.
Reality
A dev.to post on five Cypher patterns for agent memory lands hardest on the write path. Agents re-extract the same entity from many documents, and a MERGE keyed on a mutable name creates a fresh node each time the string changes.
Reality
The leader changes with the measurement, so a shortlist filtered on traversal latency can hand you the engine that needs four seconds to count edges. The query shape you run all day is what decides the purchase.
Reality
A vendor-commissioned test capped every engine at 512 MB. Neo4j Community cleared 10 concurrent clients and returned four of 744 operations at 40, which no latency table would have shown.
Reality
A 2,700x latency gap between FalkorDB and CognoDB Cloud turned out to be mostly transit from India to Virginia. The same run caught an importer reporting 23,211 writes a second into an empty database.

Oakley Capital has bought control of Graphwise, the company behind the open-source GraphDB, from its earlier backers. Terms were not disclosed, and neither were licensing commitments.
Reality
Nine query shapes, five graph databases, every one on its smallest tier. The self-hosted engines answered reads in 1-4ms; the managed free tiers sat flat between 35ms and 310ms.
