The new approach is to build out high-performance data platforms on top of a mix of technologies, focused around solving them with graphic, graph database technologies. (02:53) – Graphs are the mathematical construct of a graph. It's really about networks, connected data of different people connected to other people or things of that nature. It's about building out networks and using those connections to be able to answer specific types of questions and draw insight and information out of that data that isn't necessarily available from other technologies. (06:49) – Fraud is another canonical use case, because it is all about figuring out connections and patterns within data, to be able to discern whether this activity is fraudulent or not. (08:32) – Other technologies don't do a great job linking together entities in such a way that those links and those connections are also treated as first-class citizens inside that data. Graphs bring those connections in your data up to being “first-class citizens”. (09:29) – With a graph, those connections are brought up and given first class status in the languages and queries that you run. It's called traversing them, to be able to move across them, to be able to drive insight from how those connections are made and how those connections basically connect this network of data together.(12:38) – Using Graphs makes developers able to not only process data in a real-time transactional mode, but being able to use those along with something like graph type analytics, and then use that in conjunction with AI and ML technologies to augment data back into your graph in order to provide a better real-time user experience.(14:32) – Any enterprise build or any consumer service build is really about creating a better, faster and easier to use experience for your customers. Those are really the driving forces behind any kind of business initiative. Graphs is one of those technologies.(16:38) – There's certain types o
