Summary
• Property graph databases:
• are based on graph theory
• hold properties for the nodes and relationships
• can scale and grow easily
• Graph databases are a fantastic fit in applications where:
• relationships are important as the data they link
• we want to search for behavioural patterns
• we want to join disparate data sources together
