Permission Resolution With Ne4j — Part 3 by Max De Marzi.
From the post:
Let’s add a couple of performance tests to the mix. We learned about Gatling in a previous blog post, we’re going to use it here again. The first test will randomly choose users and documents (from the graph we created in part 2) and write the results to a file, the second test will re-use the results of the first one and run consistently so we can change hardware, change Neo4j parameters, tune the JVM, etc. and see how they affect our performance.
Interesting post on testing a graph database to the point of:
How well (lousy) would this fair on a relational database?
A 10 Million row table joined to itself 100 times…omgwtfbbq.
Maybe we should ask Facebook?
Facebook releases Linkbench MySQL benchmark
In case you don’t know, MySQL is a relational database.
Last I heard the Facebook graph is one (1) billion users+.
Relational database technology is managing their graph fairly well.
What do you think?
