2. Domain modeling with Spring Data Neo4j [code]

• Last time I told you that I’m building the Skybase CMDB using Neo4j and Spring Data Neo4j, and I was excited to get a lot of positive feedback about that. I showed a little code but not that much. In this post I’ll show you how I’m building out the person configuration item (CI) in Skybase using Spring Data Neo4j.

3. Using Spring Data Neo4j to Build Recommendation Systems

• Today the author would like to introduce you to Spring Data Neo4j. To this end he implemented a little showcase application. The context of the showcase is a shop system in which it would be useful to calculate what other users also viewed – as known from many popular shopping e-commerce websites.

4. Get the Full Neo4j Power by using Core Java API instead of Cypher

• I was wondering what is the most efficient way of querying against a neo4j data base. So I did a Benchmark with quite surprising results.
