Dgraph Labs has risen to the top spot on GitHub as well as secured numerous accolades across other success metrics. This success is mirrored in the rapid growth in monthly downloads. The company recently revealed it has had 11 million Docker downloads and averaged over 1.5 million downloads per month in 2021.

Customers are discovering and seeing clear benefits to using Dgraph’s native-GraphQL graph database, as evidenced by the 11 G2 badges Dgraph earned in their spring report season. These include a leader badge in the graph database category as well as a top performer badge in the larger and more competitive NoSQL category.

The G2 badges recognize Dgraph’s ease of use, customer support, and stellar relationships.

News of Dgraph’s success across these metrics comes on the heels of bringing on board a new CEO. Gary Hagmueller was announced as Dgraph’s CEO in early March, bringing more than 20 years of technology startup experience to the series A-funded business. The move signaled upcoming commercial expansion.

“At Google, we had many backends serving different data models, with no interaction with each other. Unifying them into one data graph allowed Google to advance from simple keyword searches to truly understanding user queries and serving responses,” said Manish Jain, Dgraph’s founder and CTO.

“This need to unify disparate datasets into one graph system has become widespread. That’s why I built Dgraph, the next-generation graph database designed to serve live user traffic across complex interconnected schemas and massive datasets,” Jain added.
