I've been looking at Bitnine AgensGraph and thus also Apache AGE. These are (related) extensions of PostgreSQL that use PostgreSQL to implement a complete graph database and Cypher query language. Interestingly you can even mix SQL and Cypher in the same statement.

This approach of extending PostgreSQL is very appealing to me. There is a great deal of value in the PostgreSQL stack that doesn't need to be reinvented just to deliver a graph database and query language. How much easier is it to adopt graph database techniques when it is simply an extension of database technology nearly everyone is already running? Conceivably one might find some future version of PostgreSQL RDS (and other cloud PostgreSQL services) delivers Cypher.
