For years, graph databases have underpinned core operations at the most sophisticated social networks (such as Facebook and LinkedIn). Thanks to factors such as software advances and more affordable hardware environments, these databases are now within reach of every business and government entity, much as numerous other advanced technologies have now graduated into mainstream deployments.

Many enterprises are now using graph databases as the foundation for diverse applications such as financial fraud detection, targeted advertising, and genomics – to name just a few. I’ve been working with – and writing about – relational databases for many years, and I’m tremendously excited about how graph databases will change everything about the way data is gathered, stored, and most importantly: utilized.

If you’re getting started on your graph database journey, I encourage you to take part in our upcoming training class featuring OrientDB: the industry-leading multi-model database which is equally adept at working with graph *and* document data. Over the course of three days (July 17 – 19), we’ll provide in-depth coverage of essential topics such as database design/modeling, application development, and administration.
