Memgraph
Zero ETL

Query Data Where It Lives

Memgraph Zero connects to the databases you already run and lets you query across them as a unified graph. No pipelines. One GQL interface.

The problem

Data is scattered. Copying it doesn't scale.

Data lives in silos

Postgres, ClickHouse, Neo4j, Iceberg - each serves a purpose. None holds the full picture.

ETL is expensive and stale

Expensive to build, expensive to maintain, and outdated by the time it runs. It creates a new silo while trying to solve the silo problem.

Agents make it harder

They need data from multiple systems per task and spend tokens rediscovering what other agents already found.

Memgraph Zero

Federated graph queries across any backend

Memgraph Zero is a product line built around a single principle: leave data where it is, query it as a graph.

MemGQL

A federated GQL query engine implementing the ISO/IEC 39075 standard. Write a single GQL query - MemGQL translates it into the native language of each target backend and pushes execution down to the source. Zero ETL needed.

How it works
01
Input

GQL query arrives

A GQL query is sent via Bolt protocol on port 7688 (the default).

MATCH (u:User)-[:PLACED]->(o:Order)
WHERE o.status = 'PENDING'
02
Resolution

MemGQL resolves target backends

Reads configured graph mappings to determine which backend holds each part of the query.

Users → MemgraphOrders → PostgreSQL
03
Translation

Query transpiled to native language

GQL is translated into Cypher or SQL and execution is pushed down to each source.

→ Cypher→ SQL
04
Output

Results return

Results from each backend are merged and returned through a single interface.

Usecases

What you can do today

Federated GQL

Execute GQL queries across heterogeneous backends in a single session. Query Memgraph and Postgres in one statement. Union results from Neo4j and ClickHouse. The engine handles translation and routing.

Public-private data

GDPR-regulated records stay in Postgres. Public product catalogs stay in Memgraph. One GQL query joins both without moving regulated data across system boundaries.

Agentic data access

Agents connect via MCP, discover available data sources, and execute GQL queries without knowing where each dataset lives. When one agent finds something, others don't repeat the work.

Cross-system context

Org charts in one database. Product hierarchies in another. Ontologies in a third. MemGQL gives every team a unified graph view without forcing migration.

Two products

Complementary engines. Different trade-offs

Use them independently or together.

Memgraph

The in-memory graph engine

Sub-millisecond traversals, real-time writes, deep path algorithms, graph analytics. Data lives in memory for maximum performance.

Best for: GraphRAG, AI Memory, fraud detection, network analysis.

Memgraph Zero

The federated query layer

Data stays in source systems. Queries are translated and pushed down. Best when data is distributed and copying it is impractical or prohibited.

Best for: distributed data, regulated data, multi-system agents.

Together

Best of both

Memgraph serves as the high-performance caching and analytics layer inside Memgraph Zero. Pull data from Postgres or Iceberg into Memgraph for deep traversals, then let MemGQL route queries to whichever backend fits.
