Titan is a transactional database that can support thousands of concurrent users executing complex graph traversals in real time.
In addition, Titan provides the following features:
- Elastic and linear scalability for a growing data and user base.
- Data distribution and replication for performance and fault tolerance.
- Multi-datacenter high availability and hot backups.
- Support for ACID and eventual consistency.
- Support for various storage backends:
- Support for global graph data analytics, reporting, and ETL through integration with big data platforms:
- Support for geo, numeric range, and full-text search via:
- Native integration with the TinkerPop graph stack:
- Open source with the liberal Apache 2 license.

Titan is in right track
Graph databases are still new in the market with very little exposure as compared to other NoSQL databases. In my previous project I required a database which can make querying graphs easier, which is when I found the whole concept of graph databases. Titan API (Java) was the wrapper around underlying low level infrastructure which really helped me code with interfaces while still able to change underlying infrastructure.
- Titan is really good for abstraction of underlying infrastructure. You can choose between different storage engine of your choice.
- Open source, backed by community, and free.
- Supports tinkerpop stack which is backed by apache.
- Uses gremlin for query language making the whole query structure standardized and open for extension if another graph database comes along in future.
- The community is lacking deep documentation. I had to spend many nights trying to figure many things on my own. As graph databases will grow popular, I am sure this will be improved.
- Not enough community support. Even in SO you might not find many questions. Though there are some users in SO who quickly answer graph database questions. Need more support.
- Would love an official docker image.
- Steep learning curve. Your engineers would have to spend lots of time learning different components before they feel comfortable.
- Have to plan ahead. Maybe this is the nature of graph databases, but I found it difficult to change my schemas after I had data in production.
- It is free, so time is the only resource you have to put in titan.
To be honest, titan is not as popular as Neo4j, though they do the same thing. In my personal opinion, titan has lot of potential, but Neo4j is easier to use. If the organization is big enough, it might choose titan because of its open source nature, and high scalability, but Neo4j comes with a lot of enterprise and community support, better query, better documentation, better instructions, and is also backed by leading tech companies.
But titan is very strong when you consider standards. Titan follows gremlin and tinkerpop, both of which will be huge in future as more graph database vendors join the market. If things go really well, maybe Neo4j might have to support gremlin as well.
