Graph databases - A holy crap moment! #50

Closed adrianblynch closed 8 years ago

adrianblynch commented 8 years ago

I don't often get blindsided by a new technology but investigating graph databases for a problem I'm trying to solve lately made me exclaim "Holy crap!"

When you're stuck in a relational world you find ways to make everything fit. We've all learnt the lesson that other types of databases are better suited for certain problems, be it document store, key-value or column based. Graph databases on the other hand have been on the peripheral for me and no doubt many others. Even after reading Seven Databases in Seven Weeks, I still didn't quite get the point of graph DBs.

Since looking into them, I now see that they could well nail down a lot of problems we all encounter and I think I'd like to talk about what we're using OrientDB for and highlight the potential they have in future development.

I'd be interested to hear more about graph databases and how people are finding them in actual use

Nooooo. Way too busy at the moment. @clarkie already hounding me for Oct or November! Is there a December one planned?

November is booked up now and we dont have an event in December.

October is the slot we need to fill ;-)

Failing that were back online in January 2016
