Ultipa is a high-performance real-time HTAP graph database management system developed by Ultipa, Inc.[1][2] Ultipa is an ACID-compliant HTAP-capable commercial database with native graph data storage, computing and processing.

Ultipa Graph DBMS is implemented primarily in C++/C and Golang, and accessible via Ultipa Manager (a highly-extensible and integrated web-based Ultipa graph DBMS management front-end), Ultipa toolchains (such as DBMS CLIs, Transporters, Connector, Maker, Graph BI, etc.), Restful APIs or SDKS written in almost all popular programming languages, including Java, Python, C++, Golang, Node.js, etc.

Ultipa comes with a dialect-ed GQL implementation called UQL (short for Ultipa Query Language), which is known for its speed and simplicity. UQL supports demi-schema which combines the flexibility of structure-free data query and the speed of schematized database query[3].

According to Ultipa's developers, they are one of the first graph database vendors that natively supports both X86-64 and ARM-64 CPUs.[4] It is also reported that Ultipa has deployed one of the largest commercial grade graph systems in production environment serving a major retail and commercial bank with the data size approaching 100 Billion nodes and edges and with trillion-scale attributes, the case was reported on Ultipa's website.[5]

The team at Ultipa has released multiple benchmark reports and articles demystifying graph database benchmarks which are considered helpful and educational.

History

Ultipa was officially launched in early 2019, with the goal of building the world's fastest and most-intuitive graph database system and empowering smart enterprise with graph augmented intelligence. The founding team of Ultipa including long-time Silicon Valley IT veteran Ricky Sun, a serial entrepreneur and an prolific author, who has written and published a handful of technological books on Big-Data, Cloud-computing, Software-defined data center, Graph Database, and a special book for high-tech entrepreneurs.[6]

The list below shows all the major versions of Ultipa graph DBMS that are either released or being scheduled for a definitive release soon.

  • Version 1.0 was released in October 2019. The v1.0 edition is considered an ultra-high-performance graph computing engine with API that supports basic graph queries and algorithms.
  • Version 2.0 was released in April 2020. The v2.0 edition is essentially a commercial-grade graph database completed with graph compute engine, graph storage engine, graph query language (Ultipa GQL or UQL) parser, graph database manager, data transporter, CLI toolkits. It was first deployed in POC environment with several major commercial and retail banks.
  • Version 3.0 was released in November 2020, and subsequent minor releases like v3.1 and v3.2 were released in the first half of 2021. The v3.x editions of Ultipa Graph have been deployed in production environment with several major enterprise/BFSI customers and serving scenarios like liquidity risk management (LCR), real-time online decision making(Fraud Detection, etc.)[7]
  • Version 4.0 was released in March 2022, and v4.1 and 4.2 are projected to be released in Q3/Q4 timeframe of 2022. The V4.0 has been more widely deployed amongst BFSI customers, notably China Merchants Bank, Ping An Bank, several major stock exchanges, securities companies, large enterprises, etc.

It's expected the the graph-data warehouse edition of Ultipa v5.0 will be initially released toward the end of 2022.
