Memgraph Powers Sayari's Billion-Node Graph for Global Risk Analysis

In a webinar recap, James Conkling, Senior VP of Product Engineering at Sayari, discusses how the company leverages Memgraph's technology to manage a vast knowledge graph containing over 2 billion entities and 7.5 billion relationships. This graph is instrumental in enhancing transparency within global corporate and trade networks, addressing issues like money laundering and financial fraud. Sayari utilizes Memgraph's in-memory analytics to handle complex queries in real time, despite challenges such as managing 'super nodes' with extensive relationships. The company transitioned from Neo4j to Memgraph due to its superior capabilities for large in-memory data handling. They employ bulk data loading to maintain database efficiency, although this introduces latency in data freshness. The webinar also covers Sayari's strategy for data visualization using their open-source WebGL library, Trellis, which efficiently handles large datasets while minimizing latency. Looking ahead, Sayari aims to further enhance their data processing and explore technological advancements to improve scalability and performance.
