# NebulaGraph Database Developer Edition documentation

Developer Edition is a single-host graph database for learning and application development. It supports Docker Compose deployment and includes the `movie` sample dataset.

[Follow the quick start](https://dev-docs.nebula-graph.io/v5.3.2/get-started/deploy/)

## Getting started

### Understand Developer Edition

Learn when to use Developer Edition, how graph data is organized, and which limits apply.

- [Developer Edition overview](https://dev-docs.nebula-graph.io/v5.3.2/intro/introduction/)
- [Graph data concepts](https://dev-docs.nebula-graph.io/v5.3.2/intro/concepts/)
- [Capabilities and limits](https://dev-docs.nebula-graph.io/v5.3.2/intro/limitations/)

### Learn GQL

Start with your first query, then learn to create graphs and insert, update, and delete data.

- [Connect and run your first query](https://dev-docs.nebula-graph.io/v5.3.2/get-started/first-query/)
- [Create a graph and run CRUD operations](https://dev-docs.nebula-graph.io/v5.3.2/database-gql-reference/overview/first-steps/)
- [GQL reference](https://dev-docs.nebula-graph.io/v5.3.2/database-gql-reference/overview/)

### Build an application

Use the Python SDK or REST API to build an application that looks up a movie's cast.

- [Application tutorials](https://dev-docs.nebula-graph.io/v5.3.2/app-development/)
- [Build a service with the Python SDK](https://dev-docs.nebula-graph.io/v5.3.2/app-development/python-sdk/)
- [Build a service with the REST API](https://dev-docs.nebula-graph.io/v5.3.2/app-development/rest-api/)

## Limits

Each Developer Edition instance is limited to 1 GB of data. Use [Enterprise Edition](https://nebula-graph.io/nebulagraph-database) for testing with large datasets or for performance tests. See [Capabilities and limits](https://dev-docs.nebula-graph.io/v5.3.2/intro/limitations/) for other deployment restrictions.
