Devforge Pty Ltd builds Anvil DB — a Rust-powered graph database that brings the query engine, document store, GraphQL API, authentication, file storage, and a browser UI together in a single binary.
Graph databases have historically forced a trade-off: the power of a native property graph, or the operational simplicity of a single system. Devforge exists to remove that trade-off. Anvil is a graph database with first-class Cypher, but it also ships the pieces teams usually bolt on afterward — a document store, a GraphQL layer, row-level security, object storage, and an admin UI — as one self-contained, Rust-native binary.
Anvil is written in Rust end to end — from the page-based storage engine and WAL to the cost-based Cypher planner. No garbage-collection pauses, no JVM.
One binary ships the graph engine, a document store, a GraphQL API, authentication, file storage, and a web UI — so a deployment needs no sidecars.
Speak Cypher and GraphQL, connect with an anvil:// driver in four languages, and import Neo4j-format dumps. Standards you already know, not a walled garden.
A deliberately lean dependency tree — the query engine, graph model, and client driver carry zero external dependencies. Fewer moving parts, fewer surprises.
The fastest way to reach us is through the Anvil community and the project's issue tracker.
