GraphAware Blog

Over the last few months, GraphAware, Neo4j, and Pivotal engineers have been workingon a ground-up reimplementation of Spring Data Neo4j (SDN) that is server-first and Cypher-centric. Today we are veryexcited to announce the first milestone of the new Spring Data project for Neo4j.

Last weekend, I came across a tweet announcing that Wikimedia released the dataset of the page clickstreamsfor February 2015. I found it interesting to download this dataset and see how people arrive on the Neo4j’s Wikipedia page.

Our earlier blog posttalked about using the Neo4j web browser along with embedded Neo4j.The WrappingNeoServerBootstrapper which was employed to do this has been deprecated for a while and it raises questionsabout the alternative.

A common question when planning and designing your Neo4j Graph Database is how to handle “flagged” entities. This couldinclude users that are active, blog posts that are published, news articles that have been read, etc.

There is no better way to start 2015 than to learn something new. In the wake of two recent major announcements (here and here),Neo4j is as hot as ever, so it might well be the next skill you pick up or improve. Here’s a list of Neo4j events organisedby GraphAware around the world in the next few weeks. We’ll be delighted to see you there!

There are times when you have an application using Neo4j in embedded mode but also need to play around with the graphusing the Neo4j web browser. Since the database can be accessed from at most one process at a time, trying to start upthe Neo4j server when your embedded Neo4j application is running won’t work. The WrappingNeoServerBootstrapper,although deprecated, comes to the rescue. Here’s how to set it up.

Last month, I had the pleasure of speaking at GraphConnect in San Francisco, introducing the GraphAware Framework to alarge audience of Neo4j users and graph enthusiasts. For those who missed the conference, the recording and slides havenow been made available. Enjoy and get in touch with feedback / questions!

Specialist in Neo4j consultancy, training, and software development, Graph Aware Ltd has been selected as one of NeoTechnology’s first UK solution partners, under its newly launched partnership program.

In this post, we’d like to introduce the first version of the GraphAware Neo4j ChangeFeed - a GraphAware Runtime Modulethat keeps track of changes made to the graph.

Modelling and querying time-based events in a graph is a fairly common discussion topic and a frequently asked questionon Q/A sites. In this blog post, we evaluate some of the common approaches and introduce GraphAware TimeTree, a GraphAware Framework Module that simplifies modelling time and events in Neo4j.
