What is graph database and why is taking over relational database
For the right use case, relational databases are powerful tools. But today users are asking for more than conventional databases can handle. More data, more speed and, most importantly, more connections. In fact, graph database came to light to fill this gap and replaced the restrictive standard model with flexibility and speed.
This powerful tool is natively able to store, process and query relationships efficiently and excels at managing highly connected data and complex queries, independent of the total dataset size.
Therefore, this kind of database stands behind many projects in several organizations in different industries, such as financial services, government, energy, technology, retail, and manufacturing.
