Beam vs Dgraph: What are the differences?
Developers describe Beam as "A Distributed Knowledge Graph Store". A distributed knowledge graph store. Knowledge graphs are suitable for modeling data that is highly interconnected by many types of relationships, like encyclopedic information about the world. On the other hand, Dgraph is detailed as "Fast, Distributed Graph DB". Dgraph's goal is to provide Google production level scale and throughput, with low enough latency to be serving real time user queries, over terabytes of structured data. Dgraph supports GraphQL-like query syntax, and responds in JSON and Protocol Buffers over GRPC and HTTP.
Beam and Dgraph can be primarily classified as "Graph Databases" tools.
Beam and Dgraph are both open source tools. It seems that Dgraph with 9.96K GitHub stars and 696 forks on GitHub has more adoption than Beam with 1.37K GitHub stars and 64 GitHub forks.
