LatticeDB – Like SQLite but for graph databases

SMRTR summary

LatticeDB is an embedded, single-file graph database that combines property-graph traversal, HNSW vector similarity search, and BM25 full-text search in one query layer — no server required. Built in Zig with zero configuration, it delivers 0.13 μs node lookups, sub-millisecond vector search at 1M vectors, and graph traversal up to 2,819x faster than SQLite recursive CTEs at deeper depths.
