  • What's the excitement around Neo4J all about?

Lets have some fun and look at some very cool Neo4J demos, covering Neo4J, Heroku, Cypher and how they make difficult stuff fun and easy?

Sebastian Verheughe & Katrina Sponheim:

  • .Fun, values and lessons learnt from retrofitting Neo4J into the Telenor middle-ware

Telenor calculated in 2010 that it´s self-service web solution for companies & enterprises, MinBedrift, would not scale with the projected customer growth beyond 2012. In order to achieve acceptable user response times, the current solution was dependent of nightly pre-caching the customers’ data. However, the time available for caching was closing fast, and then response times would become increasingly longer. In the end Telenor would start losing customers, and a lot of money. This is the story about how usage of NoSQL solutions such as Lucene/Solr index & Neo4j graph database solved the problem, and then some more.
