Book Description
First and foremost, the authors did not write this book to criticize relational databases or undermine a still-valuable technology. Without relational databases, many of today's most mission-critical applications would not function, and without the early innovations of RDBMS pioneers, modern database technology would not have advanced as far as it has.
Instead, the authors wrote this book to introduce developers with RDBMS experience to a database technology that has transformed not only how the world is understood but also how future applications are built. Today's business and user demands require applications that integrate vast amounts of data while maintaining high performance and reliability.
The authors believe the applications of the future will be built using graph databases, and they aim to ensure readers are not left behind. In fact, they are committed to guiding developers through every step of the learning process.
While other NoSQL (Not Only SQL) databases often position themselves in direct opposition to RDBMS technology, the authors prefer to serve as a helpful resource, assisting readers in adding graph databases to their professional toolkit.
Relational databases still have their ideal use cases. However, for scenarios where a different solution is needed, the authors hope this book will help readers recognize when - and how - to use a graph database to address new challenges.
