Graph vs Sourcegraph

A platform for people,or memory for the agent.

Sourcegraph is a code-intelligence platform your engineers search. Graphify is a graph on your machine that your assistant traverses.

Side by side

Nine rows.

Two of them are theirs. The rest follow from where the index lives and who reads it.

The difference

Different readers.

A search platform is built for a person with a question and a keyboard. It indexes everything the organisation has, and it is very good at putting the right file in front of the right engineer. That is a real job and it is not the one here.

Graphify is built for the agent in your editor. It holds one checkout, in a form an agent can walk rather than read: typed edges, one hop at a time, every claim carrying where it came from. The output is a path, not a result list, because an agent cannot skim.

And nothing to run.

The other difference is operational. A platform is something you deploy, connect and administer. Graphify is a command you install, and the graph is three files in your own repository. That is the whole of it.

FAQ

Questions about the two

What teams ask when they already run one.

  • Ask who is doing the reading. If your engineers need to search and navigate across thousands of repositories, that is the job Sourcegraph was built for and Graphify does not attempt it. If the reader is the assistant you already use, Graphify is the one.

  • Yes, they do not conflict. Sourcegraph serves people searching across the organisation; Graphify serves the assistant working in your local checkout. Different readers, different moments.

  • No. It maps the repositories you point it at, on the machine where you work. If org-wide search is the requirement, a platform is the right shape and this is not one.
