What types of applications might a graph database be well suited for?
Found this list of use cases for graph databases in a follow up of a Neo4j webinar:
- Social networks
- Collaboration programs
- Configuration Management
- Geo-Spatial applications
- Impact Analysis
- Master Data Management
- Network Management
- Product Line Management
- Recommendation Engines
The more generic answer would be that graph databases can be a great fit for problems handling highly connected data.
The examples above are clear cases of use cases involving highly connected data , but as of now I’m not aware of any social networks, network management, or large scale recommendation engines built on top of one of the existing graph databases.
