RushDB is a zero-config, high-performance graph database for AI workflows and modern apps that automatically normalizes JSON or CSV data into structured records and relationships.

---

🚀 Overview

RushDB is an instant graph database built on Neo4j, designed as a Firebase/Supabase alternative with a flexible, schema-less graph architecture. It eliminates manual schema design, data normalization, and complex SQL queries by allowing developers to push raw JSON/CSV data and query it using simple JSON syntax.

This project solves the friction in data management—complex setup, rigid schemas, and boilerplate code—that slows down prototyping and shipping features. It's built for SaaS developers, AI/ML engineers (RAG, embeddings, knowledge graphs), IoT devs, and indie makers who need fast, scalable backends without infrastructure hassle.

The team built it to make developers unstoppable, drawing from 15+ years experience at Yandex, 3Commas, and Sumsub, focusing on zero-config intelligence so you can prioritize innovation over data ops.

✨ Key Features

• Zero-boilerplate ingestion: Push nested JSON/CSV; auto-normalizes to records, labels, properties, and relationships (e.g., COMPANY → EMPLOYEE).
• JSON querying: Unified API for filters, traversals, aggregations, faceted search, vector similarity—no SQL or Cypher needed.
• AI-ready: Vector storage, hybrid search, knowledge graphs for RAG/LLM pipelines.
• High performance: ACID transactions, ~0.25ms writes, batch up to 1M+ records, dashboard for exploration.
• SDKs & Dashboard: TypeScript/Python SDKs, REST API, intuitive UI.
• Upcoming: More SDKs, advanced GDS integrations.
