Neo4j VS Apache Cassandra

Neo4j: An ACID-compliant graph database with a high-performance distributed architecture. Ideal for complex relationship and pattern analysis in domains like social networks.

After spending millions fighting the committer of ONgDB who removed the commons clause from the AGPL branded license, it looks like the Free Software Foundation got involved and forced them to remove the commons clause or change the license to their own proprietary license.

The GenAI Stack came about through a collaboration between Docker, Neo4j, LangChain, and Ollama. The goal of the collaboration was to create a pre-built GenAI stack of best-in-class technologies that are well integrated, come with sample applications, and make it easy for developers to get up and running.

Neo4j (GraphQL)

NoSQL is a term that we have become very familiar with in recent times and it is used to describe a set of databases that don't make use of SQL when writing & composing queries. There are loads of different types of NoSQL databases ranging from key-value databases like the Reddis to document-oriented databases like MongoDB and Firestore to graph databases like Neo4J to multi-paradigm databases like FaunaDB and Cassandra.

Recently I have taken an interest in big data. https://neo4j.com/ , https://cassandra.apache.org/ , https://clickhouse.com/, https://www.elastic.co/ - are all databases I have experience with. Neo4j and Cassandra only as a hobby, but Clickhouse I have used in production, and Elasticsearch I have used for some 7 years now.

For organizations and their applications that are designed to detect fraud, like International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, or try to improve customer experience via personalization, as in the case of Tourism Media, a NoSQL graph database like Neo4j is a good match. In these kinds of use cases, the quantity of data we're dealing with is enormous, and the pattern we're searching for in the data is often complex.

First, you need to choose a specific graph database platform to work with, such as Neo4j, OrientDB, JanusGraph, Arangodb or Amazon Neptune. Once you have selected a platform, you can then start working with graph data using the platform's query language.

Welcome to the world of graph databases! When it comes to modelling complex and highly connected data, graph databases have proven to be an efficient and intuitive solution. And one of the most popular graph databases out there is Neo4j, which uses a query language called Cypher.

Apache Cassandra{:target="_blank"} is a highly scalable and fault-tolerant database that can handle large volumes of data across multiple nodes or clusters. It provides fast read and write operations, making it suitable for real-time analytics or applications with high throughput requirements.

Cassandra, a replicated, fault-tolerant, decentralized and scalable database system.

A popular database you might already be familiar with is Apache Cassandra®, which powers high-performing applications for thousands of companies including Hulu, Netflix, Spotify, and Apple. While this free, open-source database is known for its high availability, scalability, and resilience; the downside is that it’s also notoriously complex to set up and manage.

In our previous article, we looked at augmenting our dashboard to store and display individual events from the Avengers using DataStax Astra, a serverless DBaaS powered by Apache Cassandra using Stargate to offer additional APIs for working with it.

Example: Apache Cassandra, CouchDB.

For our TikTok database, we’re using DataStax Astra DB: a cloud-based database that fully manages Apache Cassandra®, one of the most robust and scalable NoSQL databases around.
