Neo4j — Graph Database & Cypher Queries

Neo4j is the world's leading graph database. It stores data as nodes (entities) and relationships (edges), making it ideal for connected data where relationships are first-class citizens.

Learning objectives

  • Explain what a graph database stores differently than a relational table, in terms of nodes, relationships, and properties.
  • Write a basic Cypher pattern-matching query and explain why it reads like a diagram rather than like SQL.
  • Explain, precisely, why traversing a graph in Neo4j has roughly constant cost per hop, regardless of total data volume.
