Graph Databases Will Change Your Freakin’ Life (Best Intro Into Graph Databases)

## WTF is a graph database
– Euler and Graph Theory
– Math — it’s hard, let’s skip it
– It’s about data — lots of it
– But let’s zoom in and look at the basics
## Relational model vs graph model
– How do we represent THINGS in DBs
– Relational vs Graph
– Nodes and Relationships
## Why use a graph over a relational DB or other NoSQL?
– Very simple compared to RDBMS, and much more flexible
– The real power is in relationship-focused data (most NoSQL dbs don’t treat relationships as first-order)
– As related-ness and amount of data increases, so does advantage of Graph DBs
– Much closer to our whiteboard model
