Our take
Innovation in database models has developed gradually over the past decade, from scale-out SQL, to key-value stores. Every now and again, something comes along to change the game, and such is the case with Neo4j.
Offered as either a self-hosted database or cloud service, Neo4j is a graph database development platform that focuses on the connections between individual data entities. This offers insights into how systems, people, locations, and seemingly unrelated data points are related so that users can address complex data questions, such as business recommendations, AI, fraud detection, and more. The company is seen as a leader in graph technology with unlimited scaling, which was demonstrated when, in 2021, it produced a record-breaking graph database with over a trillion relationships.
Graph-based data models are now crucial components for AI and machine learning applications, and Neo4j has achieved an impressive number of funding rounds and amassed hundreds of enterprise customers using its product. These include Airbnb, eBay, Lyft, and NASA, the latter of which used graph database technology from Neo4j during the development of the Orion spacecraft.
