How they relate
Both replace Neo4j. Alternatives to Neo4j →
PartialFalkorDBRuns a subset of OpenCypher through the Redis protocol and its own clients, not over Bolt, so Neo4j drivers and procedures do not carry over.
PartialNebulaGraphQueried in nGQL rather than full Cypher and without Bolt, so Neo4j drivers do not connect.
