Summary

Neo Technology's CEO shares their journey to Neo4j, a graph database that attracted them due to its ability to handle complex nested data and large-scale dependency graphs. They were involved in designing a data integration platform for Barclays Bank, where they worked on building an API for publishing standardized snapshot data and a streaming query processor. The company is now working to make Cypher, a declarative language for graph querying, into a living industry standard. With the support of various startups and established database vendors, Neo Technology aims to see graph technology grow and become more accessible, with Cypher becoming the "SQL of Graphs". A recent openCypher Implementers Meeting was organized to bring together companies and developer groups working on Cypher, with a focus on language evolution and multiple graph processing. The meeting is expected to lay the groundwork for a formal open standard language.
