Getting Started with GES

Graph Engine Service (GES) facilitates the query and analysis of graph-structure data for relationships between data entities. It is Huawei's in-house developed, distributed-native graph database engine for commercial use. It is the first of its kind in China that owns independent intellectual property rights. It is particularly useful for scenarios requiring analysis of rich relationships, including social network analysis, enterprise relationship analysis, risk control, product recommendations, social listening, and fraud detection.

This document helps you quickly understand and use GES. The basic process is as follows:

  1. Preparations: Register a HUAWEI CLOUD Account. The account cannot be frozen or in arrears.
  2. Creating a Graph: Create a custom graph and set related parameters.
  3. Importing Graph Data: Import metadata and edge and vertex data to the graph.
  4. Querying and Analyzing the Graph: Use the graph editor to query and analyze graph data.
  5. Managing the Graph: Perform graph management operations, such as starting, stopping, deleting, and upgrading the graph.
