This Week in Neo4j: GraphQL, Vercel, Next.js, Bloom, Embeddings, Neo4j Desktop, Spring Data, Workshops, and More


In this week’s newsletter, check out “Full Stack GraphQL With Next.js, Neo4j AuraDB And Vercel,” which serves as an additional chapter of sorts to William Lyon’s book Full Stack GraphQL Applications on using GraphQL, React.js, and Neo4j.

Also, try a quick tutorial on a new feature in Bloom to interactively display specific subgroups of nodes and/or relationships that contain a selected range of property values. See the changes over time in “Slice and Dice Your Graph Data With Neo4j Bloom.”

Are you interested in presenting technical topics related to graphs at community events? Tell us about your presentations and we will contact you with speaking opportunities.



Cheers,
Yolande Poirier

FULL STACK: GraphQL With Next.js, Neo4j AuraDB, And Vercel
In this article, William Lyon explores how to build a full stack GraphQL application that takes advantage of the API Routes feature of Next.js API to combine your GraphQL server and front-end React applications into a single framework.
 
VISUALIZATION: Slice and Dice Your Graph Data With Neo4j Bloom
Angeliki Komianou, Software Engineer at Neo4j, introduces the Slicer, a new Bloom feature to interactively explore your graph by the values of your nodes and relationships. It displays property values in ascending order, so you can easily slice the visual Bloom scene based on those values.
   
NODES 2022: From Node to Knowledge Graph Embeddings

In this NODES 2022 presentation, Tomaz Bratanic describes the node embedding techniques to use when importing graphs into machine learning models.



LINUX: How to install the Neo4j Desktop App and Connect It to a Remote Server

Jack Wallen sets up the Neo4j Desktop app on Pop!_OS Linux. He walks us through the required steps of Neo4j AppImage download, installation, and configuration.

SPRING: Spring Data and Spring Data Neo4j Join the “No OFFSET” Movement!

Michael Simons describes the upcoming Spring Data Commons and Spring Data Neo4j implementation of keyset-based pagination. Take a look at the API that will be available after the next Spring Data releases for the MongoDB and Neo4j implementations!
