Summary
This presentation covers the definition of a graph database (information structured as mathematical graphs with nodes, relationships and properties) and their advantages when dealing with data that is difficult to fit in static tables, is rapidly evolving, or that has a lot of optional attributes. The flexibility of graph databases better support agile development and schema evolution.
