2010s was the decade of web scale (e-commerce, social, as tech) and graph dbs struggle with low level control over storage layout, denormalization and custom indexes to optimize queries etc needed above a certain scale. In the 2020s I see a retreat back to “simple long tail tech for the 97%” (helped by exponentially more compute) - with a focus on UI, and now early exploration of AI which is driving need for fluent and fluid service connectivity and distributed data models across denormalized silos created in the 2010s. Which is setting up the 2030s to be about linked data and graphs. Maybe?
