Graph Databases in Action teaches readers everything they need to know to begin building and running applications powered by graph databases. Right off the bat, seasoned graph database experts introduce readers to just enough graph theory, the graph database ecosystem, and a variety of datastores.

They also explore modelling basics in action with real-world examples, then go hands-on with querying, coding traversals, parsing results, and other essential tasks as readers build their own graph-backed social network app complete with a recommendation engine!

About the technology
Graph databases store interconnected data in a more natural form, making them superior tools for representing data with rich relationships. Unlike in relational database management systems (RDBMS), where a more rigid view of data connections results in the loss of valuable insights, in graph databases, data connections are first priority.
 
Dave Bechberger has extensive experience using graph databases as a product architect and a consultant.
