Session type: Lightning Talk

Abstract: As your Neo4j database grows in size, it becomes crucial to understand how to review your system for query performance and infrastructure costs. To a certain extent, the performance SLAs can be obtained by increasing memory. But once your database size becomes significant, it can be costly to keep on adding memory and CPUs. This presentation walks you through various scenarios to discuss how the growing size of your database can affect your database performance as well as how you can address those issues through data modeling and Cypher tuning.
