Here is a selection of graph-related articles we hope you will enjoy! In Adrien Sales’ blog, he explains how making his company’s information system available as a graph enabled the queries and visual discoveries that changed the company culture. Tom Nijhof’s chemical compound searcher is part of the Open Measurement project for sharing the results of biological experiments. In another piece, Sixing Huang compares graph solutions and, along the way, we learn about influenza, COVID-19, monkeypox, and the common cold. There’s more to read below, so dive in.

GRAPH REFACTORING: The Hard Way
Florent Biville, author of the Neo4j extension for Liquibase, shares his API design decision-making process. Liquibase is a widely-used tool for implementing flexible database changes.KNOWLEDGE GRAPH: Full-Text Search in 197M Chemical Names Graph Database
In this blog, Tom Nijhof builds a chemical compound searcher with the goal of linking compound synonyms with each other. He used the PubChem database that has millions of records which can be downloaded and put into a graph database for your own project.API: Native GraphQL API With Neo4j AuraDB on Heroku
Michael Simons explains how to write a GraphQL API that uses Neo4j AuraDB as a backend with Quarkus and deploy it as a native image on Heroku. He picked Quarkus, its official Neo4j-Extension and the Cypher-DSL. He translates the incoming GraphQL requests back from the model to Cypher. For defining the model, Quarkus provides SmallRye GraphQL.NEO4J LIVE: Netfrenzy With Patrick Hurd
