Scaling Writes by Max De Marzi.
From the post:
Most of the applications using Neo4j are read heavy and scale by getting more powerful servers or adding additional instances to the HA cluster. Writes however can be a little bit tricker. Before embarking on any of the following strategies it is best that the server is tuned.
Max encountered someone who wants to write data. How weird is that? 😉
Seriously, your numbers may vary from Max’s but you will be on your way to tuning write performance after reading this post.
Don’t depend on the NSA to capture your data. Freedom of Information requests take time and often have omissions. Test your recovery options with any writing solution.
