TigerGraph can bring in data from a variety of data sources with ease.
Data Lake and Cloud RDBMS Sources
- Snowflake
- Spark
- Delta Lake
- Iceberg
- Postgres
Object Stores from Major Cloud Providers
- AWS (Amazon Web Services) Object Stores (e.g., Amazon S3)
- Azure (Microsoft Azure) Object Stores (e.g., Azure Blob Storage)
- Google Cloud Object Stores (e.g., Google Cloud Storage)
Some data sources are supported through the Kafka Connect protocol (built-in) and others use Spark for staging (using your Spark deployment). Some data sources, such as Snowflake, can leverage either method. For more details, see the TigerGraph Data Loading documentation.
TigerGraph uses GSQL, the query language designed for fast and scalable graph operations and analytics. GSQL’s similarity to SQL, high-level syntax, Turing completeness, and built-in parallelism brings faster performance, faster development and the ability to describe any algorithm. You can start learning GSQL through our GSQL Tutorials.
In addition to GSQL, TigerGraph also supports OpenCypher and ISO GQL, providing flexibility for developers.
TigerGraph also provides a RESTful API and JSON output for easy integration with application languages like Python, Java, and C++.
