Graphs, Graphs, and nothing but the Graphs
If we are able to build mountains of code in days instead of months. Then we don t need 100 developers per app, but just a handful . say 7. If we only need those 7, then we only need to buy 7 AI subscriptions. If we only buy 7 subscriptions instead of 100, then we pay [ ]
By the end of this blog post, you are going to experience two epiphanies about databases. However, you are going to have to do a little more work than just read. You are going to have to stop and actually think about what you re reading. I promise it will be worth it. Let s go! A [ ]

Everyone expects AI prices to go down in the long term. But in the short term, we have three things going on. Token prices keep dropping, hurray for that. Subscription fees are going up and dumping their all you can eat plans for volume based pricing. There more you use, the more you pay. I [ ]
One of the things that made me fall head over heals for Neo4j so many years ago was just how extensible it was. If the database engineering team was busy rebuilding the clustering feature for the third time and didn t have time to take care of my feature requests I could just add them myself. [ ]
About eight years ago, I wrote a little blog post on dynamic decision trees. If you have the time, go back and read that and the follow up posts on the subject. If not, I ll summarize. Instead of building a Rules Engine to make decisions, I built a dynamic traverser that evaluates logic on the [ ]
Adding 1000 requests per second to a query by using perf and flame graphs.
Our last post was about a Triangle Count query. It referenced another blog post from Kuzu where they explained their use of a Multi Way Join Algorithm to count 41 million triangles in 1.62 seconds. Using only binary joins it would take them 51.17 seconds to achieve the same result. My attempts to run the [ ]
All of NoSQL is due to the Join Problem. Learn how new join algorithms are finally fixing it.
Hey HackerNews, let me just drop my mixtape, checkout my soundcloud and Death Row is the label that pays me. How is the Graph Database category supposed to grow when vendors keep spouting off complete bullshit? I wrote a bit about the ridiculous benchmark Memgraph published last month hoping they would do the right thing [ ]
