Why, when and where should you use NoSQL Graph DB

OrientDB - the best of two worlds. A document based NoSQL graph database.

NoSql Graph Databases

* In computing, a graph database is a database that uses graph structures with nodes, edges, and properties to represent and store data. A graph database is any storage system that provides index-free adjacency.

This means that every element contains a direct pointer to its adjacent elements and no index lookups are necessary.

Why, when and where should I use it

If your data looks like this

Yes, you can do that with rdbms

If your data start looking like this

You already into big data graph

But, if your data looks like this one

This presentation is for you

Why, Graph DB

Data is more connected:

• Text (content)• HyperText (added pointers)• RSS (joined those pointers)• Blogs (added pingbacks)• Tagging (grouped related data)• RDF (described connected data)• Social networks• GGG (content + pointers + relationships +

descriptions)

Network and IT Operations Management

The interconnected physical, virtual, and application layers of a

network are perfectly modeled in a comprehensive graph.

Queries:

Graph DB – use cases

Social

Family, friends and followers extend into a social graph which

reveals patterns of similar behavior, influence, and implicit

groups.

Queries:

Friend Recommendations,

Sharing & Collaboration,

Influencer Analysis

Graph DB – use cases

Recommendations

Connect the dots of seemingly unrelated interests and

relationships to make recommendations that balance fresh with

familiar.

Queries :

Professional Recommendations

Product,

Identity and Access Management

Who you are, how you belong, and what you’re permitted

depends upon the relationships between you, an organization,

and a system.

Graph DB - definition

“Graph Databases are a way of storing data in the form of nodes, edges and relationships

which provide index-free adjacency. “

Graph Example

GraphDB definition explained

• DATA = NODES• (NODES) are Fully Featured JSON Objects, Indexable to ensure uniqueness

• These are the population of your Graph Nation

• If it is an immutable thing, if you can anthropomorphize it, it should be a

(NODE)(Computer, Email, Hash, Service Ticket, IDS Rule, Domain, Threat Actor)

• JOINS = EDGES• Every (NODE) must connect to at least one more… as must we all, else why exist?

• Individual –EDGES-> are directional: (Chris)-->(You) or (You)-->(Chris)

• EDGES + CONTEXT = RELATIONSHIPS• -[:RELATIONSHIPS]-> are Fully Featured JSON Objects!

• -[:RELATIONSHIPS]-> give context to the connections between (NODES)

• If it is an action or you can’t imagine holding it, it should be a -[:RELATIONSHIP]->

• (Chris) -[:TALKS]->(You) , but are (You)-[:LISTEN]->(Chris) ?

RELATIONSHIPS + NODES =

OrientDB is an open source NoSQL database written in Java. It is a document-based database, but the

relationships are managed as in graph databases with direct connections between records
