This document provides an agenda and overview for GraphTour 2020. It introduces Herman Roelandts and Rik Van Bruggen as hosts and discusses what GraphTour is and solving the "Graph Problem". It highlights Neo4j's growing community, adoption in enterprises, and support for the GQL standard. New features in Neo4j 4.0 like Neo4j Aura are showcased. Graph data science and Neo4j Labs projects like the Graph Algorithms Playground are also summarized. The document concludes by wishing attendees to enjoy the rest of the day's events.

6. Do you have a
"Big Data" Problem,
or do you have a
big "Data Problem"?
A few years back I got a
Message from a friend

7. Let's talk about
"The Graph Problem"
Problem

8. Before we can actually address the problem, we have to recognize it as a
specific type of problem,
so that we can start imagining appropriate solutions to it.

9. Many problems have more than one potential solution, but usually
one solution TYPE stands out
as being most appropriate, natural, easy to implement, cost effective.

10. Graphs have been universally recognized as a great solution
for specific types of problems
- Graph Problems -
and
recognition is GROWING!

13. Look at this data again…

14. If your business problem has a lot of dependencies - which in IT /
database terms are represented by JOINs between different entities
- and if solving for these dependencies in near real time is
important to you, then your problem is probably easiest solved with
graph technology - and we can safely call it a
GRAPH PROBLEM.
Congrats!
You've just solved the "Graph Problem" Problem.
Conclusion

15. Understanding when graph technology is most appropriate for
solving your business problem, is the "Graph Problem" Problem.
GraphTour aims to give you ALL the INFO you need to be able to do
that quickly and efficiently.
If we succeed - tell us. If we don't, also tell us!
Our objective for GraphTour!

16. More and more people recognize their
graph problems for what they are

For Developers
80+% of our customers

I’ve been playing with @neo4j today and I must say, even though I’ve
only about scratched the surface of it, I love it. And about Cypher: I can’t
believe how much sense it makes and how easy I got started writing
queries. Plus the Desktop app was a very pleasant experience.
After learning Neo4j, it’s amazing to me how much better a graph data
structure suits real-world relationship models. Bye bye tricky SQL joins!
Good god @neo4j's intro console with the movie example is literally the
best database engine intro I have ever seen <applause>
