How and Why Netflix Built a Real-Time Distributed Graph Ingesting and Processing Data Streams at Internet Scale, Building a Scalable Storage Layer The Netflix product experience historically consisted of a single core offering: streaming video on demand. But the evolution of its business has created a new class of problems where member interactions with the app have to be analyzed across different business verticals. In a traditional data warehouse, these events would land in at least two different tables and may be processed at different cadences. But in a graph system, they become connected almost instantly. Ultimately, analyzing member interactions in the app across domains empowers Netflix to create more personalized and engaging experiences. The data engineering team recognized a solution to process and store swathes of interconnected data while enabling fast querying to discover insights is needed. Although they could have structured the data in various ways, they ultimately settled on a graph representation. Graph offers key advantages, specifically: * Relationship-Centric Queries * Flexibility as Relationships Grow * Pattern and Anomaly Detection This is why they set out to build a Real-Time Distributed Graph, or “RDG” for short. Three main layers in the system power the RDG: * Ingestion and Processing — receive events from disparate upstream data sources and use them to generate graph nodes and edges. * Storage — write nodes and edges to persistent data stores. * Serving — expose ways for internal clients to query graph nodes and edges. The team built the ingestion and processing pipeline using Apache Flink to transform streaming events into graph primitives. But the critical question is - once billions of nodes and edges are created from member interactions, how do you actually store them? The RDG is a property graph consisting of: * Nodes: Entities including member accounts, titles (such as shows/movies), devices, and games. Each node has a unique identifier and a set of properties containing additional metadata. * Edges: Relationships between nodes, such as “started watching,” “logged in from,” or “plays.” Edges also have unique identifiers and properties, such as timestamps. In evaluating different storage options, Netflix explored traditional graph datastores. While they do provide feature-rich capabilities around things like native-graph query support and data models to represent different types of graphs, they also pose a mix of scalability, workload, and ecosystem challenges. They ultimately decided that the options evaluated wouldn’t meet requirements at Netflix’s scale. So they turned instead to an internal platform specifically designed for this type of challenge: the Data Gateway Platform. More specifically, its Key-Value Data Abstraction Layer (KVDAL). For the RDG, Netflix provisions a separate namespace for every node type and edge type in the graph. This also makes it straightforward to extend the RDG with new types of nodes and edges.

🗺️ The Graph Analytics market is heading toward $9.5B by 2032 - but can you navigate it? Graph technology has evolved from a niche curiosity to a multi-billion dollar market, and it's accelerating fast with AI. But for engineers, data scientists, architects, and technology leaders, the tooling landscape can feel overwhelming and fragmented. That's exactly why we built The State of Graph: a comprehensive, structured repository, visualization, and analysis of the entire graph technology space. Today, we're sharing the first of 7 categories: 🔍 Graph Analytics Graph analytics uncovers patterns in connected data powering use cases like: → Fraud detection & network security → Risk propagation & anomaly detection → Community analysis & influence mapping → BI, retail, and social networks 📊 The numbers speak for themselves: $2.41B in 2025 → $9.49B by 2032 (21.61% CAGR) This catalog is built for those who are choosing, building, or evaluating graph analytics tools. Not just listing everything, but mapping how frameworks, libraries, and platforms align with real-world constraints. We limit inclusion to tools where graph algorithms are core functionality, not afterthoughts. This project started as a hallway conversation at Connected Data London 2024, and has been a labor of love throughout 2025 with Maya Natarajan and Anisha Mane. We debuted it live at @Connected_Data London 2025, and now it's yours to explore. 👉 Check out the Graph Analytics Catalog v.1: stateofthegraph.com/2026/02/… Do you have questions, feedback, or want help navigating it?
