Session description

Have you ever experienced very slow performance, frequent reboots, and low availability with Neo4j? In this short session, Salvatore will share his journey with a customer facing these exact issues. Was it Neo4j's fault? Absolutely not. Salvatore will demonstrate how he detected bad queries and refactored them, focusing on two key areas: replacing the traverser plugin and reformatting the queries to drastically reduce memory consumption. As a result of these changes, the database experienced zero failures in the last year.
