# NamiDB

> NamiDB is a source-available graph database engine that lives in your S3 bucket. Embedded like DuckDB, multi-tenant by namespace, one engine across AWS S3, Cloudflare R2, Google Cloud Storage, Azure Blob, MinIO. Built by NamiDB, Inc. Source-available under BSL 1.1. Launched as v0.1 in May 2026.

NamiDB writes Cypher to your object-storage bucket. Three deployments share one engine:

- Embedded as a Python library (`pip install namidb`)
- Embedded as a Rust crate (`cargo add namidb`)
- Self-hosted as a Rust daemon + Docker image (`namidb-server`)
- Managed multi-tenant on namidb.com (private beta, design partners only)

The engine targets the openCypher dialect and is tracking GQL (ISO/IEC 39075). Launched as source-available v0.1 in May 2026 under Business Source License 1.1, converting to Apache 2.0 three years after each release.
