HydraDB is a fast, scalable graph database built on object storage for AI agents, storing decisions, facts, docs, relationships, and knowledge, with support for building ontologies, agent memory, and company knowledge graphs.
About HydraDB
HydraDB
HydraDB is presented as a graph database built on object storage, designed to give AI agents accurate retrieval of connected context. The page says it stores decisions, facts, documents, relationships, and knowledge, including how they change over time. It claims 10-100x lower costs than conventional approaches, assisted graph creation, and real-time recall under 200ms. It supports Cypher reads and writes, openCypher and Neo4j drivers, and is available as open source for self-hosting as well as a managed cloud offering. The page also describes native vector search support and positions HydraDB as complementary to vector databases, useful when applications need to follow relationships across sources. Benchmark results (e.g., 90.79% overall accuracy on LongMemEval-S) are cited on the page. Pricing tiers are listed as Open Source, Ship ($25/mo), Scale ($300/mo), and Enterprise (custom).
