Hey I am Andi, the author of blog post and wanted to jump in... First neo4j is not an in-memory db since its main storage is on disk. It does come with cache mechanisms using which data eventually ends in main memory but that is completely opposite approach of what we wanted to show in this blog post and what Memgraph is capable of doing. Memgraph is an explicite in-memory storage (or was since now it has capability to also use disk) because everything is computed in memory, no caching needed no buffer pool, for in-memory storage the only disk-related thing is securing the durability but that is different topic
- cartweheel 3y agoHi Andi, Most databases have their main storage on disk. That is how they define the D in ACID, durable. That is not the salient point regarding what an in-memory database is. I appreciate that your main point is with regards to memgraph internals and it was an interesting read.
