For most organisations, data security is extremely important. The topic comes up every single time we are training, consulting,
or otherwise engaging in the world of graphs and Neo4j. At the same time, security is very difficult and time-consuming to get right
and the implications of getting it wrong can be serious. In this blog post, we introduce the integration of Spring Security
into Neo4j which provides important security controls and mechanisms for enterprises and governments that make use of the
world’s most popular graph database.

At GraphAware, we help organisations in a wide range of verticals solve problems with graphs.
Once we come across a requirement or use case two or three different times, we typically create an open-source Neo4j extension
that addresses it. The latest addition to our product portfolio, introduced in this post, is a simple library that automatically
expires data from the Neo4j graph database.

Cypher
Iterating over large numbers of nodes using Cypher is quite a common use case in Neo4j. Typically, the reason for doing this
is that we want to perform some kind of operation for each one of these nodes. In this blog post, we will use one million
TestNodes and try to iterate over them in order to index their contents into a freshly created Elasticsearch index.
There are three approaches we can take, two of which are quite common, but the most performant technique is largely unknown.

For the last couple of years, Neo4j has been increasingly popular as the technology of choice for people building
real-time recommendation engines. Having been at the forefront of the graph movement through client
engagements and open-source software development, we have identified the next step in the natural evolution of graph-based recommendation
engines. We call it Graph-Aided Search.

Drawing a graph on a whiteboard is easy and fun!
Translating that graph into an object model can sometimes result in questions such as “do I have to define relationships in both participating node entities?”
or “which end of the relationship should I save?”.
