Neo4j : A Graph Project Story

You may already have an idea of what Neo4j is and how it works, and maybe you've even played around with some ideas using it. The question now is how you can  take your graph project all the way to production-grade. This is what is discussed in this book.

The book starts with a brief introduction to Neo4j and its query language, CYPHER, to help readers who are just beginning to explore Neo4j. Then we go straight to the subject in question: how to set up a real life project based on Neo4j, from the proof of concept to an operating production-grade graph database. We focus on methodology, integrations with existing systems, performance, monitoring and security.

As leading experts in the Neo4j French community, the authors have chosen an unusual format to transmit their technical know-how: they tell you a story, a graph project story, where the protagonists are members of a technical team who specialize in the representation and manipulation of strongly connected data. The plot starts when a client come in with his project. You will attend their working sessions and see how they develop the project, fight over approaches, and ultimately solve the problems they encounter. Welcome to GraphITs.Tech!

This audacious and, we hope, entertaining approach allows you to experience all aspects of setting up a graph database, from the various and sometimes opposing points of view of technical and network experts, project managers, and even trainees.

• A Little Bit of Method and Analysis Disponible à l'unité

  The first step in your project is to implement your ideas in order to make sure they work. This proof of concept involves the model (data structure), the services your application provides, and infrastructure which this system will be based on.

  
   
• Interact with Neo4j Disponible à l'unité
  X replier

  Modern applications are rarely developed around a single system. Out-of-the-box Neo4j provides tools and suggested techniques to help users integrate with existing and/or heterogeneous systems. We will see how external systems as well as Neo4j itself can interact with Neo4j.

  
   
• Data Import/Export Disponible à l'unité
  X replier

  Legacy data will sometimes need to be imported into a Neo4j database from an existing application. Conversely, it might be useful to export data present in Neo4j to an outside data store. In this chapter we will see how to use the different data import and export tools available in Neo4j.

  
   
• Operating Neo4j Disponible à l'unité

  Need to improve the overall performance of your graph database? Make it more reliable? Learn how to monitor it? In this chapter, we will describe ways of correctly operating a production Neo4j graph database.
  
  

  
   
• Securing Data Disponible à l'unité
  X replier

  The data stored in the Neo4j database may include personal data (for instance, customer personal addresses in the graph ordering process), so it is essential to secure this confidential information. Security must be considered a continuous improvement effort (a marathon) rather than a one time effort after a security audit (a sprint).
