If I may ask, what type of use cases are there for which a graph database is well suited?
I could imagine there to be a few (that I can't think of and haven't seen). I have seen graph databases used where they didn't make sense though.

We also hope that the relationships between data is where the value lies, rather than in the nodes which consist of ingested data. Arguably, the structure can easily be captured with a NoSQL DB or even a relational database. The precarious life of Graph databases is likely due to this - once a schema is established, why would you choose a proprietary datastore?
