Graph database
Graph databases are built ground-up for storing connected data – something no other kind of database does well.
By leveraging connected data, companies can differentiate themselves by drawing on previously untapped insights.
1000x faster
Graph applications are frequently 1000 times faster than equivalent RDBMS implementations.
When operations go from taking minutes to taking milliseconds, completely new doors open in terms of the services you can build.
Ask anything
In a graph database, you can ask deep questions about anything, in real-time.
The Cypher query language enables rapid development, as well as excellent reporting.

"It sounds cliche, but we were truly able to translate whiteboard sketches directly to our data model, with no (or minimal) futzing in between. And that meant that we were able to crank out features and iterate rapidly on them. The simple programming model and schemaless structure were key factors here." – Aseem Kishore

1. Model your graph
Draw your domain on a whiteboard. Add type names to the relationships. You're done.
2. Insert your data with Cypher
Use Cypher to insert your data into Neo4j.
3. Bulk load data in volumes
Use the LOAD CSV command in Cypher to
load millions of nodes at once.
MERGE (p1:Person {name:"Joe"})
MERGE (p2:Person {name:"Bob"})
MERGE (p1)-[:KNOWS]-(p2);
MERGE (p:Person {name:"Bob"})
MERGE (c:Company {name:"Tesla"})
MERGE (p)-[:WORKS_AT]->(c);
Create indexes for better node lookup performance:
CREATE INDEX ON :Person(name); CREATE INDEX ON :Company(name);
Note: indexes speed up search for individual nodes, but are not used for graph matching.
name Joe Bob
people.csv
USING PERIODIC COMMIT
LOAD CSV WITH HEADERS
FROM "file:///tmp/people.csv"
AS line
MERGE (p:Person {name: line.name})
Load people
Beyond a few million, please use an offline batch loading tool.
