That's exciting, thanks a lot! I was just considering using a graph database for a future side project.
I also read Neo4j was an inspiration. Is there any "human-made" comparison between the two? All I could find was "A vs. B" comparison tables.
Thanks again!
- marknadal 9y ago@edjroot I don't know if this is any different than what you already saw, but the biggest differences are: - Neo4j is Master-Slave, GUN is Master-Master (or Multi-Master, or Masterless). Basically, GUN is P2P/decentralized, Neo4j is centralized. - GUN has realtime updates/sync built in, Neo4j does not. - GUN has offline-first features, Neo4j does not. Other considerations: - Neo4j has its own query language, GUN has a FRP (Functional Reactive Programming) based JS API. - Neo4j is over a decade old, GUN since late 2014. - Neo4j is more monolithic, GUN is more microservice-y.
