Slides: https://www.slideshare.net/DataStax/datastax-graph-data-modeling-in-datastax-enterprise-artem-chebotko-cassandra-summit-2016 | The graph data model is the most versatile and flexible data model supported by DataStax Enterprise. With the right of choice comes the responsibility to choose. This talk provides a necessary background on property graphs, their usability and common use cases, and dives deeper into techniques for graph data modeling. We generalize and demonstrate how graph schema design fits into the conventional conceptual-logical-physical schema design framework using concrete examples and visual diagrams. Finally, we discuss how to optimize a graph data model for performance. About the Speaker Artem Chebotko Solutions Architect, DataStax Dr. Artem Chebotko is a Solutions Architect at DataStax.
