Graph Databases Will Change Your Freakin' Life - Guide to Graph Databases

What is a graph database?

- Euler and Graph Theory
- Maths - it's hard, let's skip it
- It's about data - lots of it
- But let's zoom in and look at the basics

## Relational model vs graph model
- How do we represent THINGS in DBs
- Relational vs Graph
- Nodes and Relationships

## Why use a graph over a relational DB or other NoSQL?

- Very simple compared to RDBMS, and much more flexible
- The real power is in relationship-focused data (most NoSQL dbs don't treat relationships as first-order)
- As related-ness and amount of data increases, so does advantage of Graph DBs
- Much closer to our whiteboard model
