Ep. 28: Tinkering with a Graph Database Service

Kamal Shannak ( @shannakam ) and his team have been building IBM Graph since 2015. In that short time, they've become part of a growing group of enthusiasts and fans of graph databases - a relatively new database technology. In this interview, Kamal and podcast host Kamille Nixon ( @kamillenixon ) discuss the beginnings of IBM Graph and the important role of Apache TinkerPop™ in building the service (5:43), the most common cases where graph excels (13:11), how graph databases fit into a multi-DB approach (16:41), and graph's role as a persistence layer for other services, including Watson (27:12). To learn more about graph databases, listen to the " New Builders Episode 12: Of Graphs and Gremlins ," featuring Alaa Mahmoud.
