Relational databases like Postgres are great for storing graphs! So-called "graph databases" have some performance advantages at really massive scale, like Facebook/Twitter scale where they have to scan all your friends for every page view. But unless you're doing millions of lookups per second, Postgres will work great.
- dave_4_bagels 6y agoThanks! I'm building the project in Elixir Phoenix as most of my day to day dev work in in elixir. I'm definitely happy that I don't have to look for some exotic ORM layer or adapter to use a graph DB with elixir.
