An introduction to Graph Databases in PHP, using Neo4j
summary
A practical demo of Neo4j powering a PHP recipe site called OmNomHub that actually stores forks of recipes and provenance, lets users join groups and find similar recipes via ingredient graphs, and exposes data via Neo4j Desktop/browser and a GraphQL plugin. Uses PHP Bolt client and an OGM (Doctrine-like) for queries, imports via CSV, and pairs Neo4j with Elasticsearch for full‑text while keeping relational links in Neo4j; claims traversal performance up to 4 million nodes per core and uses the Bolt protocol.
