How is graph DB implemented?
A graph database is a type of database whose concept is based on nodes and edges. The diagram above shows the basic model of the graph database concept. The nodes are Andera, Bob and Camila and Follows (edges) provide connections between nodes. The graph database model is ideally suited to store this type of data.
What are the requirements of graph database?
The keys to a successful graph database to serve as a real-time AI data infrastructure are:
- Support for real-time updates as fresh data streams in.
- A highly expressive and user-friendly declarative query language to give full control to data scientists.
What can I do with graph databases?
Graph databases are therefore highly beneficial to specific use cases:
- Fraud Detection.
- 360 Customer Views.
- Recommendation Engines.
- Network/Operations Mapping.
- AI Knowledge Graphs.
- Social Networks.
- Supply Chain Mapping.
Why do we need graph database?
Graph databases use nodes to store data entities, and edges to store relationships between entities. Graph databases have advantages for use cases such as social networking, recommendation engines, and fraud detection, when you need to create relationships between data and quickly query these relationships.
Why developers should use graph databases?
Graph databases store information as nodes and data specifying their relationships with other nodes. They are proven architectures for storing data with complex relationships. Developers think in objects and use hierarchical data representations in XML and JSON regularly.
Why do we use graphs?
Graphs are a common method to visually illustrate relationships in the data. The purpose of a graph is to present data that are too numerous or complicated to be described adequately in the text and in less space. If the data shows pronounced trends or reveals relations between variables, a graph should be used.
