Building Knowledge Graphs with Apache AGE

This is 2025, and data doesn’t come alone — it comes with relationships, connections, and context. Like any other graph database, Apache AGE stores nodes, edges connecting them, and attributes of nodes and edges. Apache AGE is a PostgreSQL extension that provides graph database functionality; AGE is an acronym for A Graph Extension.

The article discusses the importance of graphs in data relationships and introduces Apache AGE, a PostgreSQL extension that facilitates graph database functionalities. It provides a step-by-step guide on setting up Apache AGE using Docker, configuring PostgreSQL, and employing Cypher, a query language for graph databases. Additional sections highlight practical implementations with Python, the use of LLMs for natural language queries, and real-world applications in sectors like banking and logistics, emphasizing how graph databases can optimize processes and enhance data analysis.
