Written in C++ and born for graph, Nebula Graph handles graph queries in milliseconds. Among most databases, Nebula Graph shows superior performance in providing graph data services. The larger the data size, the greater the superiority of Nebula Graph. For more information, see [Nebula Graph benchmarking](https://discuss.nebula-graph.io/t/nebula-graph-1-0-benchmark-report/581).

### High scalability

Nebula Graph is designed in a shared-nothing architecture and supports scaling in and out without interrupting the database service.

### Developer friendly

Nebula Graph supports clients in popular programming languages like Java, Python, C++, and Go, and more are being developed. For more information, see Nebula Graph [clients](../20.appendix/6.eco-tool-version.md).

### Reliable access control

Nebula Graph supports strict role-based access control and external authentication servers such as LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) servers to enhance data security. For more information, see [Authentication and authorization](../7.data-security/1.authentication/1.authentication.md).

### Diversified ecosystem

More and more native tools of Nebula Graph have been released, such as [Nebula Graph Studio](https://github.com/vesoft-inc/nebula-web-docker), [Nebula Console](https://github.com/vesoft-inc/nebula-console), and [Nebula Exchange](https://github.com/vesoft-inc/nebula-spark-utils/tree/v2.0.0/nebula-exchange). Besides, Nebula Graph has the ability to be integrated with many cutting-edge technologies, such as Spark, Flink, and HBase, for the purpose of mutual strengthening in a world of increasing challenges and chances. For more information, see [Ecosystem development](../20.appendix/6.eco-tool-version.md).
