Quickstart: zero to a query
The shortest path from a fresh install to a graph you can query — schema, init, load, query, branch — entirely on a local file-backed graph, no server.
Key capabilities
| Capability | What it gives you |
|---|---|
| Declared as code | A cluster.yaml declares graphs, schemas, stored queries, embedding providers, and policies; cluster apply converges it and omnigraph-server brings every graph online at /graphs/{id}/…. |
| Built for fleets of agents | Hundreds of agents enrich the graph on parallel isolated branches; changes are reviewed and merged safely, Git-style, across the whole graph. |
| Multimodal retrieval | Graph traversal + vector ANN + full-text + Reciprocal Rank Fusion in one query runtime, for context assembly. |
| Security as code | Cedar policy enforced server-side on every mutation, per-graph and server-wide; bearer auth; actor/audit tracking. |
| Runs on your infrastructure | Any S3-compatible object store: on-prem via RustFS / MinIO, or AWS S3 / R2 / GCS. VPC, on-prem, hybrid; your data never leaves your store. |
| Open, versioned storage | Lance columnar format: branchable, time-travelable, with native blob-as-data (docs, images, video). |
