what is frankengraphdb fr?

frankengraphdb is an ambitious, ground up graph database written in Rust, meant to store data as networks of connected things (people, places, events) rather than as rows in a spreadsheet, and to query those connections quickly and safely. The README explains that most existing graph databases were each built around one early design decision that later became a limitation: some are fast but fragile, others are durable but slow, and none of them combine every good idea that researchers have already figured out separately. This project's goal is to combine those ideas into one system instead of picking just one tradeoff. The README is explicit that it is written as if the finished 1.0 version already exists, describing the target design rather than only what is built today, though it says any feature that is genuinely still future work, such as spreading the database across multiple machines, is called out plainly as such. Among the capabilities described: the ability to query the database as it existed at any point in its history, git-like branching so you can fork the data, experiment, and merge or discard changes, and built in analytics that run directly on the live data without copying it elsewhere. It also aims to give the exact same query the exact same result every time, including the order results come back in, and to attach a verifiable record to every query result explaining how that result was produced. The project can run as an embedded code library, as a standalone server, or as a command line tool, and it speaks GQL, an official international standard graph query language, with support for the more familiar Cypher language as well. The README lists a deliberately closed set of dependencies, avoiding several very common Rust libraries in favor of a small number of components the project controls itself, and it forbids unsafe code throughout the codebase except in a few carefully isolated and tested spots. It is licensed under MIT with an added rider. The full README is longer than what was shown.
