  1. Neo4j SDN⚡RX „What the hell, it’s 2020 and you’re writing

    a new object mapping framework?“ 15th May 2020 Michael Simons introducing

    Agenda • About Neo4j • Who are the folks working on the Object mapping things? • Some history • SDN/RX • What do we want? • New building blocks for Spring Boot • Neo4j Client, Template and Repositories • Cypher DSL 2
  3. Ecosystem Neo4j Professional Services 300+ partners 47,000 group members 61,000

    trained engineers 3.5M downloads Mindset “Graph Thinking” is all about considering connections in data as important as the data itself. Native Graph Platform Neo4j is an internet-scale, native graph database which executes connected workloads faster than any other database management system. Neo4j 4

    12 Different approaches • Just query what’s needed • Use special database functions • Work on aggregates • Use analytic queries • Or graph queries Some examples to follow…

    16 Current Spring Data Neo4 + OGM • start.spring.io gives you SDN and OGM • 3 different modes available (Embedded, HTTP and native) • Custom queries are possible but go all through the OGM abstraction • Some building parts stack vertically, some horizontally ➡ Confusing options for beginners
  13. Neo4j SDN⚡ RX at Spring I/O Bridge 2020 by @rotnroll666

    19 What do we want? • A composable stack • Nicely integrated in Spring Boot • Access at all abstraction levels • Raw queries (outside application level transactions) • Raw queries (inside application level transactions) • Plus ad-hoc mapping • Mapping • Repository abstraction • Reactive (and imperative) database access

    21 Spring Boot starter revisited <dependency> <groupId>org.neo4j.driver!#groupId> <artifactId>neo4j-java-driver-spring-boot-starter!#artifactId> <version>4.0.1.1!#version> !#dependency> Gives you: • Dependencies • spring.factories • Configuration properties • Automatic configuration

Maybe null. !% private Authentication authentication = new Authentication(); } 22 Property mapping

    23 Automatic configuration for the Driver @Configuration(proxyBeanMethods = false) @AutoConfigureBefore(Neo4jDataAutoConfiguration.class) @ConditionalOnClass(Driver.class) @EnableConfigurationProperties(Neo4jDriverProperties.class) @Import({ DriverConfiguration.class, AdditionalDataConfiguration.class }) public class Neo4jDriverAutoConfiguration { } @Configuration(proxyBeanMethods = false) class DriverConfiguration { @Bean @ConditionalOnMissingBean(Driver.class) @ConditionalOnProperty(prefix = "org.neo4j.driver", name = "uri") Driver neo4jDriver(final Neo4jDriverProperties driverProperties) { final AuthToken authToken = driverProperties.getAuthentication().asAuthToken(); final Config config = driverProperties.asDriverConfig(); return GraphDatabase.driver(driverProperties.getUri(), authToken, config); } }
  17. Neo4j SDN⚡ RX at Spring I/O Bridge 2020 by @rotnroll666

    24 Automatic configuration for the Driver • Spring Boot 2.2 got enhanced to recognise the presence of a Driver-Bean!

    32 Non-functional concerns • Compose only vertically • Less surprises • No smart guess, better fail fast • „When in Spring land, do as the Spring Data team does“ • Well defined extension points for • Custom queries • Adhoc mappings
  26. Neo4j SDN⚡ RX at Spring I/O Bridge 2020 by @rotnroll666

    33 No more string concatenation: CypherDSL • Started as internal API • Heavily inspired by both jOOQ and Spring Data JDBC • Compile-time checked query construction • Used internally for every query generated

    39 What to chose for a new project? • Used already by customers • 1.0.0 released in April • Will eventually replace SDN+OGM • Good choice for new projects • When it moves back under Spring Coordinates, packages will change • More effort to migrate existing SDN+OGM code • Different packages • More opinionated behaviour
