Who This Book Is For

If you are a developer who wants to understand the fundamentals of modeling data in Neo4j and how it can be used to model full-fledged applications, then this book is for you. Some understanding of domain modeling may be advantageous but is not essential.

What You Will Learn

• Translate a problem domain from a whiteboard to your database
• Make design decisions based on the nature of data and how it is going to be used
• Use Cypher to create and query data
• Evolve your database in stages
• Optimize the performance of your application with data design
• Design paradigms to ensure flexibility, ease of querying, and performance
• Move from an existing model to a new model without losing consistency

In Detail

Neo4j is a graph database that allows you to model your data as a graph and find solutions to complex real-world problems that are difficult to solve using any other type of database.

This book is designed to help you understand the intricacies of modeling a graph for any domain.

The book starts with an example of a graph problem and then introduces you to modeling non-graph problems using Neo4j. Concepts such as the evolution of your database, chains, access control, and recommendations are addressed, along with examples and are modeled in a graph. Throughout the book, you will discover design choices and trade-offs, and understand how and when to use them. By the end of the book, you will be able to effectively use Neo4j to model your database for efficiency and flexibility.
