Graph Chat with Arun Sharma on LadybugDB

Join us as we talk with Arun Sharma, founder of LadybugDB and former Senior Engineer at Facebook (where he developed the distributed graph query system Dragon). In this chat, Arun explains why he launched LadybugDB as an open-source, transparently governed fork of KuzuDB, and shares his ambitious technical vision for the project: - Graph Data Lake: LadybugDB aims to become the basis for a graph-specialized data lake, serving as a "Snowflake for graphs." - No-Ingest: Learn how LadybugDB plans to eliminate the costly and time-consuming data ingestion (ETL) process. - Standards and Scalability: Discover how LadybugDB is contributing to new interchange formats, adjacent to the Apache project Graph Archive, to make this online, no-copy graph processing possible at scale. Arun also shares his insights on the shift in the graph space toward columnar analytics and the rise of GraphRAG in AI/LLM applications. Learn more about LadybugDB: https://www.ladybugdb.com/
