On Graph Databases | The Backend Engineering Show
About this episode
I get a lot of emails asking me to talk about graph databases, so I want to start researching them, but I wanted to give you guys the framework of how I think about any databases to defuse any “magic” that might be there.
In this video, I discuss what constrains a database and how the use cases try to work around them.
