Your graph database worked perfectly in development. Then production traffic hit. Queries slowed. CPU spiked. Cache misses multiplied. Suddenly, your Neo4j cluster feels fragile under real-world load.

Graph workloads are powerful, but they punish inefficient query patterns, poor indexing strategies, and misconfigured memory settings. If you rely on Cypher queries for fraud detection, recommendation engines, knowledge graphs, or real-time analytics, performance is not optional. It is the difference between insight and outage.

Graph Database Performance Tuning is a practical, engineering-focused guide for developers, data engineers, and solution architects who need predictable speed at scale. Instead of theory-heavy discussions, this book delivers concrete profiling strategies, execution plan analysis techniques, and production-ready optimization patterns tailored for Neo4j-style graph databases.

Inside, you will learn how to:

Profile and interpret Cypher execution plans with precision
Identify cardinality explosions and hidden traversal costs
Design indexes and constraints that reduce query latency
Optimize memory configuration, page cache, and JVM settings
Refactor slow graph patterns into scalable query models
Monitor, benchmark, and capacity-plan high-throughput workloads
Scale clusters safely without sacrificing consistency

Curious why certain traversals degrade exponentially? Wondering how to structure graph schemas for sustained performance? Want to reduce query latency from seconds to milliseconds under peak load? This playbook answers those questions with clarity and actionable techniques.

Whether you're running Neo4j in production, architecting enterprise knowledge graphs, or optimizing graph analytics pipelines, this book equips you with the tools to eliminate bottlenecks and scale with confidence.

If performance matters to your graph systems, this is the guide to put beside your terminal. Get your copy today and start running graph workloads the way they were meant to perform.

Store Description

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.
