What is Velr?¶

Velr is a blazingly fast and lightweight Rust database unifying Cypher graphs, SQL, Vectors, and Time-Series on top of SQLite. Built for edge workloads, agent memory, and data science workflows.

A unified model for intelligent systems¶

Velr is a embedded database that models your world as a property graph and blends it seamlessly with tables, logs, and embeddings. It lowers queries to SQLite, giving you reliability, durability, and predictable performance.

Designed for agents, smart cities, industry 4.0 and low latency use cases.

Built for developers & data science¶

Velr integrates cleanly into modern data workflows:

• Cypher-style UNWIND / MATCH / RETURN pipelines for shaping datasets and building graph-aware features
• Zero-copy Polars / Pandas / Arrow support
• Native vector search and time-series, fully composable with Cypher and SQL
• Embeddable Rust driver, Python driver, and a C ABI for direct integration
