WTF is a graph database
Euler and Graph Theory
Math -- it's hard, let's skip it
It's about data -- lots of it
But let's zoom in and look at the basics
Relational model vs graph model
How do we represent THINGS in DBs
Relational vs Graph
Nodes and Relationships
Why use a graph over a relational DB or other NoSQL?
Very simple compared to RDBMS, and much more flexible
The real power is in relationship-focused data (most NoSQL dbs don't treat relationships as first-order)
As related-ness and amount of data increases, so does advantage of Graph DBs
Much closer to our whiteboard model
