ByteGraph is a distributed graph database developed by ByteDance, the company behind the popular social network TikTok.

In 2022, ByteDance published a paper on ByteGraph at the VLDB conference. In this post, I will provide an overview of my understanding of ByteGraph and highlight some of the key points from the paper that I found interesting.
