neo4j-at-scale
What it does
Hands multi-hop traversal queries to a dedicated graph database once relational adjacency tables start struggling to answer them at the graph's current scale.
Inputs
- The graph's existing schema, migrated into native graph storage.
- The multi-hop traversal queries the graph needs to answer.
Outputs
- Multi-hop query results returned at a latency relational joins can no longer match.
Failure mode if skipped
Multi-hop queries against relational tables get slower and more convoluted to write as the graph grows, until a query that used to take one join takes five and still times out.
