I did give it a spin. Both on AuraDB and on our local servers but in the end, I decided to go with Memgraph. Since they both use Cypher, it was an easy switch. ↔ For the past 4 months, we have been running Memgraph on our server, and our data analysts are using Memgraph Lab for querying and visualization. Fun fact, after we ditched Neo4j, I found out that Memgraph has also released support for Neo4j as part of Memgraph Lab. :)

Neo4J is used as the database for bloodhound, which is a very popular recon and pathing tool on penetration testing. You simply dump json files containing data from owned machines on a network, and the graph relationships can visualize the shortest path to domain admin. It’s pretty cool.

Using neo4j at work for some pretty specific data modeling, it's a very interesting way to structure data and forces you to think about it differently than tables and joins Also it's pretty common for social media and such to use traditional SQL dbs instead and manage the graph structure with regular joins or in the application layer, even if graph dbs theoretically are applicable

I was so happy to see this collab! My favourite Dev KZreadr, and my favourite database! Although I have been using Neo4j for two years to great effect, I loved this video! Congrats to both of you!

Oh wow something on this channel i can actually add something to! I worked with neo4j in an enterprise environment, that scaled from a startup, so neo4j became legacy code in that time. I was brought on to clean the backend, but quickly ran into troubles. For starters cypher is great though a little obtuse, but bytecode support in python is incomplete and managing even medium complexity datamodels was a poor experience. Aura was a bag of worms, you cant delete large amounts of data without crashing the db, which requires a support service call (no alerts or automated processes on their end to fix this, massive SLA headache on our end). But its the costing model thats atrocious for businesses, with little to no worthwhile support and a whole lot of issues besides, so many hacks needed to make optimisations for simple usecases, it was alot of money for very little. I’d say great for research and PoCs, but step through its limitations carefully if your looking to scale out with it.

Data storage and retrieval is a very difficult problem, DBs have been improving upon it for decades, there is lots of information.

Graph databases often lack performance compared to relational database systems, such as PostgreSQL. For example it can be slow to load large datasets, poor scalability and unreliable. Additionally there is no standard query language yet, so comparing different systems can be tricky since every system has its own language. In terms of query language I would say Cypher provides a more intuitive syntax compared to SQL (as said in the video), but under the hood you still join two tables like you would with SQL. And even then, this year SQL:2023 will allow you to write 'Cypher style' queries in SQL so you can use a faster, more reliable relational database instead :)
