RushDB is a self-describing, graph-native database that helps AI agents reason over data with confidence: progressively introspect what's queryable—without guesswork.
In today's fast-paced development landscape, managing databases shouldn't slow you down. RushDB is a zero-config, graph-powered instant database designed to streamline data ingestion, normalization, and querying. Built for modern apps, AI, and DS/ML workflows, it offers automatic schema handling, ACID compliance, and a seamless developer experience.
Forget rigid schemas and manual indexing - RushDB lets you push raw JSON or CSV, automatically structures relationships, and optimizes queries on the fly. Whether you're building SaaS, AI models, or large-scale data applications, RushDB accelerates your workflow so you can focus on innovation, not infrastructure.
Traditional databases slow teams down with complex setup, rigid schemas, and manual optimizations. We've seen firsthand how data management creates unnecessary friction, delaying feature development and forcing engineers to wrestle with infrastructure instead of shipping great products.
RushDB removes these barriers entirely by blending the best of both worlds - the freedom of writing data like MongoDB and the structured flattening of SQL. It automates data normalization, optimizes queries on the fly, and eliminates the need for manual indexing or schema design. The result? A frictionless developer experience that lets you focus on building, scaling, and delivering value—without getting stuck in database operations.
Zero Configuration – Just push any JSON or CSV; RushDB automatically suggests types, normalizes data, and labels relationships - all on the fly.
Graph-Powered Storage – Automatically structures relationships between data.
ACID Transactions – Ensures consistency and reliability.
Powerful Yet Simple Querying – RushDB eliminates the gap between how you perceive data and how you query it, making data retrieval frictionless and natural - so you can focus on shipping products, not syntax.
Self-Hosted or Cloud – Deploy anywhere with ease, or choose RushDB Cloud. Start building in under 30 seconds.
SDK-like DX Even for REST API – Enjoy a seamless developer experience with an intuitive, structured API that feels like an SDK, minimizing boilerplate and complexity.
RushDB allows developers to push raw JSON or CSV data without worrying about schema definitions. RushDB automatically normalizes data and structures it as a graph, making queries fast and intuitive.
Create Record
from rushdb import RushDB
db = RushDB("RUSHDB_API_TOKEN")data ={"name":"Google LLC","address":"1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA","foundedAt":"1998-09-04T00:00:00.000Z","rating":4.9}record = db.records.create("COMPANY", data)
RushDB automatically creates relationships between Records based on JSON input, which is normalized into separate flat Records.
However, relationship creation isn't limited to data loading. You can also establish relationships between existing Records, providing a powerful tool to add more meaning to your data.
Effortlessly find exactly what you need. With automated, on-the-fly data normalization, you can query complex, deeply interconnected data without workarounds or unnecessary overhead - just clear, intuitive access to your data.
Under the hood, RushDB transforms this into an optimized and powerful Cypher query. The query engine allows developers to think about data naturally, the way we intuitively use and perceive it, while RushDB handles the complexity behind the scenes:
cypher
MATCH(record:__RUSHDB__LABEL__RECORD__:COMPANY{ __RUSHDB__KEY__PROJECT__ID__:$projectId})WHERE(any(value IN record.stage WHERE value ="seed"))AND(any(value IN record.address WHERE value =~"(?i).*USA.*"))AND(any(value IN record.foundedAt WHERE apoc.convert.fromJsonMap(`record`.`__RUSHDB__KEY__PROPERTIES__META__`).`foundedAt`="datetime"ANDdatetime(value)<=datetime({year:2000})))AND((any(value IN record.rating WHERE value <2.5)ORany(value IN record.rating WHERE value >=4.5)))ORDERBY record.`__RUSHDB__KEY__ID__`DESCSKIP0LIMIT100OPTIONALMATCH(record)-[:HIRED]->(record1:EMPLOYEE)WHERE(any(value IN record1.salary WHERE value >=500000))WITH record, record1
WHERE record ISNOTNULLAND record1 ISNOTNULLWITH record,apoc.coll.sortMaps(collect(DISTINCT record1 {.*, __RUSHDB__KEY__LABEL__:[label INlabels(record1)WHERE label <>"__RUSHDB__LABEL__RECORD__"][0]}),"__RUSHDB__KEY__ID__")[0..10]AS`employees`RETURNcollect(DISTINCT record { __RUSHDB__KEY__ID__: record.__RUSHDB__KEY__ID__, __RUSHDB__KEY__PROPERTIES__META__: record.__RUSHDB__KEY__PROPERTIES__META__, __RUSHDB__KEY__LABEL__:[label INlabels(record)WHERE label <>"__RUSHDB__LABEL__RECORD__"][0],`employees`})AS records
RushDB is fully ACID-compliant, providing robust tools to ensure data consistency and reliability. With the Transactions API, you can execute multiple operations confidently - either every request completes successfully, or all changes are rolled back, maintaining data integrity.
Working with transactions in RushDB is seamless:
tx = db.transactions.begin()try:# Create some Records item = db.records.create("ITEM",{"title":"Nike Air Max 270","price":150}, transaction=tx,) owner = db.records.create("OWNER",{"name":"Jane Smith","email":"janesmith@example.com"}, transaction=tx
) options = RelationshipOptions(type="OWN", direction="out")# create Relationship owner.attach(item, options, transaction=tx)# Simulate an errorraise ValueError("Simulated error")# Commit the Transaction if all operations succeed tx.commit();except ValueError:# If any records or relationships creation failed, roll back the entire operation transaction.rollback()
Minimal data overhead, maximum impact—RushDB’s Properties system enables developers to build best-in-class search experiences while unlocking deeper insights from their data.
Properties act as intelligent containers that links Records, connecting fields with the same name and type across different data entities. For example, if multiple Records - regardless of Label - share a color property with the value red, RushDB will automatically surface all relevant Records. It’s like querying across multiple SQL tables by a common field and value, but without the complexity.
This makes Properties a powerful tool for data discovery, search, and seamless cross-entity relationships.
Moreover, with the Properties API, building advanced search experiences is straightforward. Developers can seamlessly query related Records across different entities without complex joins or manual indexing. Whether you're implementing faceted search, dynamic filtering, or personalized recommendations, RushDB ensures your data remains connected and instantly accessible.
RushDB is built with a query-centric design, ensuring that most endpoints follow a consistent request format. This unified approach enhances developer experience by minimizing the learning curve - master one request structure, and you can apply it across the entire platform.
At the core of RushDB are three key entities: Record, Property, and Label. All of them can be queried using the same SearchQuery, eliminating the need for backend data gymnastics. This means you can focus on building products without worrying about complex data handling - just query once and get exactly what you need, every time.
# Same DTO to rule them allquery ={"where":{"$or":[{"stage":"seed"},{stage:"roundA"}],"EMPLOYEE":{"salary":{"$gte":500_000}}}}# Find Labels of Records that match the criterialabels = db.labels.find(query)# Find Records that match the criteriarecords = db.properties.find(query)# Find Properties of Records that match the criteriaproperties = db.labels.find(query)
