Graph databases help developers harness connected data and avoid the complex queries and slow JOINs that make SQL databases difficult to work with. For developers, this means simplified data modeling, avoiding any translation between data model and code. For project leaders, the graph model is the simplest way to express complex systems.
As a result, the gap between business teams, their data models and their IT departments is narrowed, significantly boosting insights and innovation.
