I'm currently using a home-baked graph database built on top of PostgreSQL for https://unlikekinds.com https://unlikekinds.com
It stores information as triples (Bob -> Married to -> Gary) and with properties (Bob.last_name = Stamper)
I've been finding that the benefits keep on paying off. I can arbitrary relate any thing to any other thing (and query those relationships) without changing code or database schema at all.
And the fact that it's a literal, intuitive, representation of reality makes things much easier to reason about.
When viewing something and seeing all the related info, the data nerd in me loves it: https://unlikekinds.com/t/unlike-kinds https://unlikekinds.com/t/unlike-kinds (meta)
