- 44. Speed “We found Neo4j to be literally thousands of times faster than our prior MySQL solution, with queries that require 10-100 times less code. Today, Neo4j provides eBay with functionality that was previously impossible.” - Volker Pacher, Senior Developer “Minutes to milliseconds” performance Queries up to 1000x faster than RDBMS or other NoSQL

Cypher Typical Complex SQL Join The Same Query using Cypher MATCH (boss)-[:MANAGES*0..3]->(sub), (sub)-[:MANAGES*1..3]->(report) WHERE boss.name = “John Doe” RETURN sub.name AS Subordinate, count(report) AS Total Project Impact Less time writing queries • More time understanding the answers • Leaving time to ask the next question Less time debugging queries: • More time writing the next piece of code • Improved quality of overall code base Code that’s easier to read: • Faster ramp-up for new project members • Improved maintainability & troubleshooting
