Event Info Leveraging connected data is becoming more and more important in the development of today’s modern web and business applications – as demonstrated by, for example, Facebook’s recent release of ‘Graph Search.’ There are many questions on the technology and potential of graph databases to meet this need. This session provides a candid look at how we at Shutl selected and implemented graph database Neo4j. Our challenge was to build a new API to cope with the rapid growth the business experienced that would have been extremely difficult with traditional database approaches. We’ll take a look at what databases solutions we selected (with a focus on Neo4j), what selection criteria we applied, what challenges we encountered during implementation and how we solved them.
