VenmoPlus0708
VenmoPlus.com is a service that allows users to explore their Venmo network through additional features like fuzzy username searching, labeling relationships between payers and receivers, friend recommendations, searching transactions within a friend circle, and listing friends. It uses Redis to store the graph structure and Elasticsearch to store all other data. Algorithms like bidirectional breadth-first search and optimizations are used to enable real-time queries of the dynamic graph. The service is built using a pipeline of raw Venmo data processed in a distributed manner across multiple databases and cloud resources.

Query relationship ofa past transaction Query distance between vertices in a historic moment in a constantly changing graph (because we don’t pre-calculate the distance….) ● If there are transactions before that one, distance = 1 ● If the transaction is new: distance >1 ○ Remove the influence of that specific transaction temporarily ○ Check distance from graph (2, 3, or >3)
