Enterprise Architectures: Real-time Neo4j Graph Updates using Kafka Messaging
Here I show how Kafka can push millions of update messages to a Neo4j graph. Super cool and super fast. Some setup work, not too hard. »
Data is great, but true insight comes from examining relationships between data points.
Hiding somewhere in your data are patterns of relationships representing money on left on the table - if only they could be discovered.
Some of the largest and most successful companies, including Facebook, eBay, LinkedIn, PitneyBowes, Cisco and Microsoft analyze their most important data in graph databases.
These companies use graphs to efficiently compute recommendations, organize social networks, manage master data, optimize marketing and detect fraud - complex pattern analyses simply not possible in SQL databases.
This ability to quickly extract patterns from massive amounts of data is why graph databases are at the forefront of enterprise analytics.
There are a number of graph databases, but the top ranked and most well-suited for enterprise deployment is Neo4j.
Neo4j is a highly scalable, native graph database that leverages data relationships as first-class entities
