Introduction to Neo Technology and Neo4j [Questions of Scale?]

Filed under: Neo4j — Patrick Durusau @ 3:21 pm

Introduction to Neo Technology and Neo4j by Curt Monash.

Curt interviewed Emil Eifrem (CEO/cofounder), Johan Svensson (CTO/cofounder), and Philip Rathle (Senior Director of Products) for an overview of Neo Technology and Neo4j.

I would be sure to read the updates from Neo4j along with the main story.

There is one point that I would like to bring to the fore and that is whether adoption of Neo4j depends on its ability to scale?

While I agree with the supplemental answers given by Neo4j staff, my counter question would have been: Scale in the sense of what requirement?

Can a single Neo4j instance represent the entire Internet at the user level?

No, but only one project each at Google, Microsoft and the NSA have that as a requirement. They all have projects where Neo4j would be a good fit. (I can’t tell you about Neo4j good fit NSA projects. If I knew I could not say and if I said, they would kill me. You understand.)

Be specific, what are your scaling requirements?

When people talk about “web scale” or “internet scale,” they have lost sight of your requirements but are still trying to find your wallet.

I would run the other way.
