Dydra is a cloud graph database for information organized around relationships, including social networks, movie connections, and transaction logs. It stores information as a property graph and supports SPARQL 1.1 queries and updates, with a standard SPARQL endpoint for each repository. Repositories can import RDFa, RDF/JSON, N-Quads, N-Triples, RDF/XML, TriG, and Turtle, and export N-Triples, Turtle, and RDF/XML. The service also provides a standard REST API and a Ruby client gem that can be used as a command-line interface. Dydra says it manages the data store, including versioning, disaster recovery, and performance. Reasoning and federated queries are supported, although federation is disabled on public service accounts. The free Basic use plan costs 0.00 USD per free and has limited resources: evaluation accounts are limited to five queries per second, and repositories are expected to stay at or below one million statements. Public accounts also use the repository’s default graph as their fixed default graph. Dydra is based in Berlin, Germany. Customers retain ownership of their data and can delete it from the service at any time.
