Abstract: I was there when Cypher was invented in 2012 and have been using it ever since. The language is extremely powerful and easy to learn. But to truly master it, you need to understand how it works internally and how the database executes your queries. In this session, you'll learn to look behind the scenes at execution plans with PROFILE and EXPLAIN and which specific clauses, expressions, structures, and operations help you minimize Cypher and database operations. After this talk, you should be able to speed up your Cypher statements quite a bit.
