Graph Data Modeling Tips & Tricks

One of the first things we have to do when working with Neo4j is figuring out how to model our data. This session will teach you what to keep in mind when modeling data from a performance point of view. Once you understand the way data is saved in Neo4j it will help you make better decisions or at least concious choices in how to best model your data for your particular use case. We will review a few ways to model one set of data, and the many choices you may be faced with when doing your own models. Remember, there is no right way to model data in Neo4j, but plenty of wrong ways.

Great presentation, excellent explenation of the topic. Exactly what I was looking for better understanding Neo4J for my usecase. For the people with criticism, I see most of you have nothing in your channel... try presenting to a live audience with technical challenges, I would like to see you try and keep calm like Max here.

Thank you very much - We have also more material on our GraphAcademy: graphacademy.neo4j.com/

I have a graph ( user - listento- song),. What is the best way to model "how many times a user listned a song by day ". ( User 1 listened song1 4 times monday, 3 times Tuesday....)

To everyone complaining about the slides, have a little perspective. The time and effort which went in to the creation of the slide and content and the fact that you're seeing this for free excuses any little mishaps. Thank you for sharing. To everyone complaining, please share links to your perfectly delivered sessions, for us all to critique.

I disagree. Yes it's free, but the video (especially the fact it's official) sets an expectation. Instead they could have re-recorded the session. Re-recording the session is someone taking 30 minutes out of their day... I'd bet even the authors would prefer to re-record a 30 minute presentation than leave this cobbled mess up. Even I've had to re-record stuff before. Most of my livestreams are unlisted because I know they are bad quality. 🤷‍♂️

[@Wizmoisa]

Considering the amount of effort put into the preparation... probably would have been worth to record again the presentation

What is the tool he says that's better than arrows at 12:50?

[@JamezMartinez]

he says "much fancier tools"

[@progtom7585]

Has any better version of this ever been released? Trying to figure out if I should use neo4j for modelling a new cloud DB

[@neo4j]

You can check our previous hands-on session covering some Data Modelling: kzbin.infoIJBTdWig564 There were also talks during NODES 2022 with that topic ( kzbin.info/aero/PL9Hl4pk2FsvUu4hzyhWed8Avu5nSUXYrb ) and we covered some special examples during the Discovering AuraDB show ( kzbin.info/aero/PL9Hl4pk2FsvVZaoIpfsfpdzEXxyUJlAYw )

@@neo4j hi that's perfect. Thanks so much

[@simonkoudijs8551]

Oef this is really a shame: it's obviously a well-prepared and experienced speaker. But due to technical difficulties (mainly on switching slides) it's very difficult to follow.

[@neo4j]

This is also a bit old now. We have a new Graph Data Modelling Course available that might be of interest: graphacademy.neo4j.com/courses/modeling-fundamentals/

@@neo4j thanks!

[@Davidb1835]

This is a very important topic and the technical problems with the slides are distracting -- no, disruptive. You should post the deck.

You really should cut out the interruptions in the presentations.

[@PeterMoueza]

19:06 full relationship

[@albusv]

I'm very disappointed that Neo4j would post such a presentation. We've all run into such issues, but it's distracting to the point that I'm leaving after 15 minutes of "oh come on!"

[@tangistanguy]

too fast speaking, interruptions everywhere, questions as "where do we switch to the screen", comments as "come on", "you can do this" and other the like,, briefly totally unprofessional presentation

[@tahirriaz6277]

A rather poor presentation!

[@sadeghhp]

completely useless!!

[@pantherdev4912]

I disagree.
