This Week in Neo4j: Path Type, OpenSanctions, LangChain, Kubernetes, GraphXR, and More


This week, there is a new graph database plugin for IntelliJ to try out. The plugin provides useful developer features for working with graph databases, such as syntax highlighting and autocompletion for Cypher and connecting to and querying local and remote graph databases. It supports Neo4j 3.4+ (Bolt), including AuraDB, and is maintained by Alberto Venturini.

For the fun of it, you can solve this graph-themed crossword puzzle for Global Graph Celebration Day.

Cheers,
Yolande Poirier

GRAPH DATABASE: The Power of the Path — Part 1
Kees Vegter begins a series of posts about the Cypher path type. He explains the path is not a specific entity to be stored in the database but a type to capture the structure of nodes and relationships as a result of a query.
 
LLMs: Integrating Neo4j Into the LangChain Ecosystem
Tomaz Bratanic creates a project that integrates a graph database into LangChain, a library for building applications around LLMs like ChatGPT. The library provides the ability to enhance an LLM by giving it access to various tools and external data sources.
