Capitalizing on Neo4j
Getting support for Neo4j
Neo4j is the most popular open-source graph store available today. Neo4j allows the storage of nodes and relationships and uses properties to annotate these types of objects. A typing system is provided by tagging nodes with labels.
Sophisticated queries are supported with the feature-rich Cypher Query Language. The syntax of Cypher is easy to pick up if you’re familiar with the Structured Query Language (SQL) of relational database management systems. Also, using the correct color coding in a Cypher syntax-highlighting text editor makes the queries rather pretty in their own right! Lots of nice brackets, parentheses, and arrows.
Neo4j’s commercial offering — Neo4j Enterprise from Neo Technologies — provides functionality for mission-critical applications, including high availability, full and incremental backups, and systems monitoring. Neo4j specializes in providing an embeddable and feature-rich graph store designed for the most complex graph problems and for storing billions of nodes and relationships.
In this chapter, I discuss the open source software, its commercial counterpart, and the company with the same name that provides support for both.
