Neo4j 5 Hits GA with Major Performance, Scalability Improvements
Graph database stalwart Neo4j is releasing the fifth major version of its eponymous graph database into general availability (GA), with major improvements in performance, scalability and operational agility. https://www.linkedin.com/in/ramananb/, Neo4j’s Senior Director, Product Marketing, talked to The New Stack, providing the skinny on many of the new goodies in version 5.
Balakrishnan, who said “Neo4j 5 is very pivotal to us” began his explainer of the new version discussing performance, where things seem very intriguing indeed. Specifically, for so-called k-hop queries, involving a large number of node traversals (or “hops”) through a graph, Balakrishnan said performance has increased as much as 1000x.
That’s noteworthy in itself, given Cypher’s status as an open standard query language for graph databases.
