GraphScope Blog

This article will provide a detailed introduction on how to deploy GraphScope on a Kubernetes cluster. In real industrial scenarios, the scale of graph data that needs to be processed is huge and has far exceeded the processing capacity of a single machine. Therefore, in addition to the single-machine deployment method, GraphScope also supports running on a Kubernetes cluster with the distributed memory data management capability provided by vineyard. It will cover the following topics: 1) How to deploy GraphScope based on a Kubernetes cluster; 2) The details of the work behind it; 3) How to use your own built GraphScope development image in a distributed environment.

In this post, we will detail two ways to install GraphScope locally: 1) directly install the published binary package through pip; 2) compile and build the latest version of GraphScope from source code.

In this post, we will introduce the categories, languages, and systems of graph computing.

In this post, we will introduce basic concepts of graphs, and some typical applications of graph algorithms.

We are glad to announce a number of new features and improvements to GraphScope, alongside the GraphScope 0.17 release. The updates include new releases for Spark-GraphX support, backend engine enhancement, and frontend APIs. Currently, GraphX Pregel algorithms can be seamlessly executed on GraphScope. A lot of new features have also been officially brought into the interactive engine (GIE), including the syntactic sugar of path expansion and expression, the Gremlin steps of id(), label(), coin() and otherV(), and the profiling and benchmarking tools for LDBC BI queries.

We are bringing a number of improvements to GraphScope, alongside the GraphScope 0.16.0 release. This release introduces many new features on backend engines and system stability. We completely remove a legacy Graph Interactive Engine (GIE), while officially replacing it with the latest version based on an intermediate representation (IR) layer. The Graph Learning Engine (GLE) now supports real-time sampling on dynamic graphs. In addition, the Jave SDK of Graph Analytics Engine (GAE) can work on MacOS. Meanwhile, we start to release a nightly version every day, and you can try it with pip3 install graphscope --pre.

We are delighted to present the release of GraphScope 0.14.0. This release is composed of many updates on backend engines and system stability. The new Graph Interactive Engine (GIE), GAIA-IR, has supported more types of operators and graph schemas for diverse graph queries. Meanwhile, the persistent storage of GraphScope, Groot, is further enhanced with a series of new functions. In addition, we continuously work on improving the performance of GraphScope, and developer usability.

We are delighted to announce the release of GraphScope v0.13.0. This release is focused on providing a JupyterLab extension for GraphScope to make your graph computation workflows better. In addition, we continuously work on improving performance of GraphScope, and developer usability.

The GraphScope v0.12.0 release is a major update on many aspects of the project including backend engines, APIs, and system stability. It introduces an intermediate representation (IR) layer into the graph interactive engine (GIE) named GAIA, to decouple query languages from query execution engines. Meanwhile, this release supports Giraph APIs to allow Giraph apps directly running on the Graph Analytics Engine (GAE) of GraphScope.

We are glad to announce a number of new features and improvements to GraphScope, alongside the GraphScope v0.11.0 release. This major release introduces mutable graphs into GraphScope, and adds GPU supports for graph analytics engine (GAE). It also focuses on user-friendly improvements, code quality, and a series of bug fixes.

We are glad to announce the availability of GraphScope v0.10. This release supports users to run GraphScope on MacOS powered by Apple’s new M1 chip. In addition, it allows to serialize/deserialize graph data to/from the disk under the standalone mode.

We are glad to announce the availability of GraphScope v0.9. In this release, we revisit the Dev-infra to improve productivity. Now, you can enjoy GraphScope with standalone mode in both our PlayGround and Google Colab. We also continuously make GraphScope more user-friendly and update the documents and tutorials based on the latest version. Further, we have preliminary supported Java in Graph Analytics Engine (GAE), and users can succinctly develop graph analytics applications with Java (see this document for more details).

We are glad to announce the availability of GraphScope v0.8. This release is a major update on many aspects of the project including deployment, system speed and APIs. For quickly getting started, this release supports to use GraphScope on standalone mode without Kubernetes. To improve the efficiency of operators and applications in NetworkX module, an immutable graph is applied by default, while it is converted to a dynamic graph only if modification operators for graphs are triggered. In addition, a notebook is integrated into the helm charts.

We are glad to announce the availability of GraphScope v0.7. This release includes major updates for the persistent graph store in GraphScope, providing APIs for real-time graph updates (inserts and deletes of individual vertices and edges). It also focuses on user-friendly improvements, security issues, code quality, and a series of bug fixes.

We are glad to announce the release of GraphScope 0.6. This major release integrates a new graph interactive engine GAIA, which supports efficient parallel execution and bounded-memory execution for Gremlin queries. More technical details of GAIA can refer to our published tech blog. Note that currently the integration of GAIA with GraphScope is experimental, and is not recommended for production use yet! In addition, this release improves the experience of local deployment on MacOS, Ubuntu and CentOS, and adds more graph analytics algorithms.
