Summary

Graph databases are designed for highly interconnected datasets, mirroring the human brain's association model, and excel at identifying patterns and hidden connections. They offer a node-and-relationships format to efficiently store and query connected data, making them suitable for applications such as fraud detection, artificial intelligence, real-time recommendation engines, knowledge graphs, network and database infrastructure monitoring, and master data management. Graph databases overcome traditional relational database limitations by providing schema flexibility, adaptability, and the ability to tackle complex interdependencies, which are essential for modern business challenges. These technology choices have been adopted by numerous companies, including Fortune 500 entities, and are expected to further accelerate innovation in various industries.
