So... Graph Databases

on YouTube ↗29m

" summary

Graph databases treat relationships as first-class, giving index for adjacency that yields near-constant-time traversals instead of repeated relational joins, and distinguish native vs mixed graphs (Neo4j is native; Cosmos/Arango are mixed). Real-world uses include fraud detection, recommendations, drug discovery and cybersecurity. The Panama Papers project loads 11 million documents (2.6 TB) into Neo4j with a UI for journalists, demonstrating the model scales and the graph-backed queries surface complex links that are painful in SQL.
