A query's result, as a graph

Every database has a Query graph and an Explore view. Run a query and see its result drawn as nodes and relationships; open a node and walk the graph from it, one hop at a time. Colour by label, size by importance, lay it out as a force graph, a tree or a circle, and save the view.

A whole graph as one picture

A graph map lays out every node and relationship once, by a job that runs near your database, quoted before it starts. Then it is yours to pan, zoom and search, at no charge: each colour is a community, a group of nodes more connected among themselves than to the rest.

Up to a hundred million nodes

A map holds the largest graphs: a hundred million nodes and half a billion relationships, drawn as dots and coloured by their communities, on a database of the right size.

A map of 100 million nodes, drawn as dots — 100 million nodes and 500 million relationships, coloured by their 104,047 communities.

Close up, with the database behind it

Zoom in where two communities meet, find a node by name, and open it beside the map to read its properties from the database.

Zoomed in on two communities, a company found by its name and opened beside the map — Zoomed in where two communities meet, sized by importance, relationships coloured by type.

By location

Nodes with a latitude and a longitude take their place on a world map; the nodes linked to them, which have none, sit beside them.

Stores on a world map, by their latitude and longitude — 20,000 stores in 40 cities at their own latitude and longitude, and the 28,000 shoppers at the stores they shop at.

Glowing

Relationships drawn as light, coloured by their length or their type, so the shape of the graph shows through its density.

By time

Nodes with a date take their place along it, a row per community, the earliest on top.

The same stores across the years they opened, a row per community — The same stores by the date they opened, 1990 to 2025, a row per community.

On a globe, at altitude

In 3D, nodes with a latitude, a longitude and an altitude sit on a see-through globe, above its surface or below it. Turn it, tilt it, and zoom in to a region.

Earthquakes on a see-through globe, each at its depth — The earthquakes of 2025 of magnitude 4.5 or more over the Pacific, each at its depth, as far as 670 km down.

On axes

Give each axis a property, numbers, dates or a property's values in bands, and every node takes its place by its own values: across, up, and in depth in 3D.

A hemoglobin molecule's atoms in a box, on x, y and z — Human hemoglobin's 4,556 atoms at their coordinates in ångströms, each colour a community.

Over the streets

Under a map placed by location, choose streets instead of the atlas: OpenStreetMap's roads and buildings, served from MicroGraphs' own tiles, so a graph of a city sits on the city.

On your own website

Publish the graph behind a query or a business question as an embed on your site, styled in a designer, in 2D or 3D. Refresh it on a schedule, or let it answer each visitor live with the values of the page.

A customer portal page with a live graph of one customer's orders: switching the customer and the region redraws it — A live embed in a customer portal: changing the customer or the region runs the business question again.

See the whole graph, not a sample of it.
