For data teams · Apache 2.0 · Deploys in your VPC

Ask the questionsyour warehouse can't answer.

Multi-hop questions — citation chains, fraud rings, patent prior-art, customer-360, drug-target-trial, supply-chain impact — are 15 self-joins and 4 minutes in SQL. In VioGraph they're 3 lines of Cypher and 3 milliseconds, running directly on Snowflake, BigQuery, Databricks, or Starburst. No ETL, no cluster to manage.

No data movement, no ETL pipelines, no separate cluster to maintain. Your warehouse stays your source of truth — VioGraph just queries it as a graph.

Who it's for

Built for the teams who ask relationship questions.

Four buyer patterns we see most. If you're in one of these roles, VioGraph saves you a SQL sprint a week.

Data platform leads

Ship graph analytics without standing up a graph cluster.

Plug VioGraph into your existing warehouse. No new infra, no ETL, auditable open source.

Research & IP analysts

Citation networks, author disambiguation, patent prior-art.

Follow influence across papers, inventors, and institutions in a single Cypher query — not a week of CTEs.

IP & brand-protection counsel

Trademark conflict, prior-art search, jurisdiction mapping.

Walk every similarity edge — phonetic, semantic, ownership — in one traversal. A dozen clearance searches → one graph query.

Fraud & AML teams

Ring detection, mule networks, device sharing, address clusters.

The 15-join SQL that takes 4 minutes becomes 3 lines of Cypher in 3 milliseconds. Against the warehouse you already have.

Solutions for every data challenge

From structured analytics to unstructured intelligence, plus the infrastructure expertise to run it all.

The Product

Four tools that turn a warehouse into a graph.

Everything a data analyst needs to go from SQL tables to multi-hop queries — no separate graph database, no operations team.

See your relationships, not just rows.

Force-directed, hierarchical, concentric, and radial layouts tuned for million-edge graphs. Click any node to drill into its neighbourhood.

  • 17 curated pattern templates (fraud rings, KYC chains, supply maps)
  • Community detection + shortest-path overlays
  • Export to PNG, SVG, CSV

From warehouse to graph in 4 steps

No ETL pipelines. No data duplication. Connect, map, launch, explore.

Step 01

Connect Source

Point VioGraph at your Snowflake, BigQuery, Starburst or Databricks warehouse. Credentials stay in your VPC.

SnowflakeConnected
BigQueryAvailable
StarburstAvailable
Step 02

Map Your Data

Choose which tables become nodes and which become edges. Use the visual mapper or YAML config.

nodes:
- table: accounts
- table: transactions
edges:
- type: TRANSFERRED_TO
- type: SHARES_ADDRESS
Step 03

Launch Graph

One click exports data from your warehouse and spins up an isolated in-memory graph instance on Kubernetes.

Where competitors are stronger (we believe in transparency)

Graph algorithms: Neo4j has 65+ algorithms via GDS. TigerGraph has 50+ via GSQL. We have 20+. We are catching up.
Scale: TigerGraph handles trillion-edge graphs across distributed clusters. We currently run single-node in-memory. For graphs > 50GB, TigerGraph or Neo4j Fabric is better today.
Maturity: Neo4j has 15 years of production hardening. TigerGraph has 8 years. We are newer. Choose us for warehouse-native + zero idle cost. Choose them for proven enterprise scale.
Query language: TigerGraph GSQL is more powerful for custom algorithms. Neo4j Cypher is the industry standard. We support standard Cypher.

Common Questions

Before you email sales

The questions we get most from data platform leads and architects. Not here? Ask us directly.

Neo4j is an operational graph database — you load data into it, it stays running 24/7, and you pay per GB stored. VioGraph is a graph analytics layer that reads directly from Snowflake / BigQuery / Databricks. Your data stays in place, compute spins up per query, idle cost is $0. Think Snowflake vs an always-on Postgres: same language, different cost model.
