Article: 8DB graph lookups | 218,000 answers a second. Keep the context.

Retained October 9, 2026 from the article at source c04aea4. These passages preserve the original scope, methodology and revision history behind the commercial summary. They are not new test results. Original source references remain in the article.

The logs report zero incorrect results in these rounds. Background work was active on the laptop, and Neo4j improved as the campaign progressed. The ratio therefore describes this recorded setup, including client, query processing and transport costs. It does not establish that 8DB performs an identical property query 64× faster inside the engine.

Evidence note: This is a historical engineering comparison, not an audited LDBC submission. The person and friendship datasets are custom deterministic fixtures. Official IS-1 and IS-3 have fuller result contracts. The packet retains reports, the two recovered lookup logs, source revisions, calculations and open replication tasks. Exact historical binaries and the Neo4j client scripts were not recovered. No new benchmark runs were performed for this article.
