You seem to be stuck on the query semantic level. I can highly recomend actually building a graph database, and using it in anger in a project.
You'll realize that all these paradigms are more related than they appear on the surface, that the obvious and naive thing is also often prohibitively slow and limited, and that NoSQL doesn't mean NoJOIN ;)
- eurasiantiger 5y agoI don’t care about implementation details. I care about performance and team velocity; the former is already implemented and the latter comes from being able to just define a graph data model and get a free GraphQL API for frontend developers in return.
- j-pb 5y ago> the former is already implemented Yeah, with joins, which this entire discussion is about. > the latter Is completely tangential.
- eurasiantiger 5y agoYou don’t think there is a slight difference in how those two very different ”joins” behave when the underlying storage is entirely non-local (columnar graph) or row-local (RDBMS)?
