Wow! Glad it wasn't just me. I think there's a big opportunity for work / data sharing in here somewhere.https://twitter.com/generativist/status/1172188521085321217 …

is there a use case where graph dbs are significantly faster or more expressive than postgresql? i've often wondered where it fits.

That's a good question. I'm too new to graph databases to answer right now. It's still too much fun novelty for me to judge coherently.

Yes, and I deliberately mirrored a set of graph relations from Postgres to Neo4J for a production load to make predicates across the graph work for a production workload. Transitive closure was not enough at all.

Neo4J helped respond to complex queries against food ontologies and other relations with relatively full predicate logic and Kleene star operators across the graph. I needed this so people could match recipe ingredients to grocery shopping results, in bulk for ranking.

The product died but I built something really useful that died inside it. Postgres, Elasticsearch, and Neo4J queried simultaneously to do some really complex problem solving live for household management.

I'm toying (simultaneously) with
@JanusGraph / Cassandra / ElasticSearch and@dgraphlabs right now just to orient myself as quickly as possible. Need to look more at@neo4j, too.2 replies 0 retweets 2 likes -

But a lot of what I'm building has some pretty complex traversals. And the things I want to build are even more complex. So it kinda feels like premature infrastructure to me, but... ...I want to be able to run real comparisons.

(Also to be candid, @JanusGraph is *really* attractive to me because you can run it over Big Table. Having a cloud-friendly spinnup with no (less) admin for me at this stage is pretty killer.)
