Grokking Graph Analytics and Algorithms

Description

What is a graph?

A Graph is a collection of Nodes and Edges. The nodes represent entities, such as people, computers in a network, or molecules in a chemical reaction. The edges represent the relationships between them such as friendships (or frenemies), direct connections, or constituents in a reaction.

Graph databases are online systems that let people manage graph data. Unlike older databases, priority is given to relationships between entities. This means you don’t have to mess around with complicated keys and joins to analyze large portions of a system.

Why are graph databases important?

Graphs are growing in prevalence. Every time you visit Facebook, you’re getting information on first, second, and even third-degree connections to you and your friends.

The biggest tech companies around leverage graph data and analytics to understand how users relate to each other, and with the content on their site.
