11 sourcesI found these in the docs which are verbose and helpful:

In Nebula Graph: A Linearly Scalable, Distributed Graph Database Written in C++Yes, Nebula Graph supports multiple backend storages by design. So theoretically you are able to use whatever storage you want for whichever graph space in Nebula Graph.
You may take a look at this article about the design of our storage engine: https://github.com/vesoft-inc/nebula/blob/master/docs/manual...
In 2020 we will be working on more plugins. You may stay tuned if that interests you. :)
In Show HN: Nebula – a distributed graph database written in C++Huh? I'm ready to dunk on any project, but that's just not true...
https://github.com/vesoft-inc/nebula/blob/master/README.md#l...
In Show HN: Nebula – a distributed graph database written in C++We changed the URL from https://github.com/vesoft-inc/nebula to the project page.
In Show HN: Nebula – a distributed graph database written in C++There is a Getting Started series in the GitHub wiki page: https://github.com/vesoft-inc/nebula/blob/master/docs/manual...
Check out the Getting started YouTube video here if you prefer video tutorials:

Feel free to contact us if anything is missing. :)
In Show HN: Nebula – a distributed graph database written in C++Glad you loved the query language!
The C++ client is PR ready now:
https://github.com/vesoft-inc/nebula/pull/1013
In Show HN: Nebula – a distributed graph database written in C++Thanks for your interest! :)
Good question re data loading! Currently there are two tools for this purpose:
1) Spark Writer which enables you to load data from DWH to Nebula Graph via Spark: https://github.com/vesoft-inc/nebula/blob/master/docs/manual...
2) CSV importer if you don't have to import very large data from RDBMS to Nebula Graph: https://github.com/vesoft-inc/nebula-importer
The visual will be released by the end of this week. :)
In Show HN: Nebula – a distributed graph database written in C++I found some articles about the architecture and design of the database in their repo:
Overall structure: https://github.com/vesoft-inc/nebula/wiki/Nebula-Graph-Archi...
Storage engine design: https://github.com/vesoft-inc/nebula/blob/master/docs/manual...
Query engine design: https://github.com/vesoft-inc/nebula/wiki/Query-Engine-Overv...
Hope that helps. :)
In Show HN: Nebula – a distributed graph database written in C++This looks good. I like the query language.
Whats the status of the C++ client?
https://github.com/vesoft-inc/nebula/blob/master/src/client/...
I see it has connect/execute/disconnect. This seems like the minimum required. What can't I do with that basis?
