The old town of Königsberg has seven bridges: Can you
take a walk through town, visiting each part of the town and crossing each bridge only once?

What is a Graph DB?
Graph Nodes Relationships Properties Store Store Connect Have Have

Recommendation System
Social network
Movies social network Users rate movies People act in movies
People direct movies Users follow other users
Movies social network How do we model it?
Movies social network Follow Rate {stars} User Film User Actor
Director Act in Direct
Movies social network MATCH (fran:User {name: ‘Fran’}) -[or:Rate]-> (pf:Film {title:
‘Pulp Fiction’}), ! (pf)<-[:Rate]-(other_users)-[:Rate]->(other_films) ! RETURN distinct other_films.title;
Movies social network Rate {stars} Rate {stars} User 1 Film
PF Fran User 2 Rate {stars} Film Film Rate {stars} Rate {stars}
Movies social network MATCH (fran:User {name: ‘Fran’}) -[or:Rate]-> (pf:Film {title:
‘Pulp Fiction’}), ! (pf)<-[:Rate]-(other_users)-[r:Rate]->(other_films) ! WHERE or.stars = r.stars ! RETURN distinct other_films.title;
Movies social network MATCH (fran:User {name: ‘Fran’}) -[or:Rate]-> (pf:Film {title:
‘Pulp Fiction’}), ! (pf)<-[:Rate]-(other_users)-[r:Rate]->(other_films), ! (other_users)-[:FOLLOW]-(fran) ! WHERE or.stars = r.stars ! RETURN distinct other_films.title;
Movies social network Rate {star} User 1 Film PF Fran

Movies social network MATCH (tarantino:User {name: ‘Quentin Tarantino’}), (tarantino)-[:DIRECT]->(movie)<-[:ACT_IN]-(tarantino) RETURN
movie.title
Movies social network Film Actor Director Act_in Direct
Movies social network Now you should be able to categorize
the movies

Movies social network MATCH (fran:User {name: ‘Fran’}) -[or:Rate]-> (pf:Film {title:

Instead of just picking a relational database because everyone does,
we need to understand the nature of the data we’re storing and how we want to manipulate it. Martin Fowler
