You did not fail you just found 1000 ways that donโt workโ
Often we prefer to share tales of success, however failure can teach us just as much.
Have you ever broken a library with million of downloads? Or crashed a core microservice in a large scale system?
Because a few developers have- and theyโre here to tell their stories.
We gathered a group of leading developers to share the less shiny side of their experience- the failures.
Graph databases offer a very unique approach to storing data in a way that tells a story. This approach enables us to get insights about our data that would be almost impossible to get with any other database.
For example if we take a relational database, it would be pretty easy to find a personโs friends. But to divide a whole city into friend groups- that would be somewhere between challenging, slow and impossible.
In this talk we will cover graph basics, explore the main use cases, the caveats, hear some battle field stories and even witness the power of graphs live, with an exciting demo using Neo4j and Nodejs.
