Ask HN: Are graph databases used in the wild?
2 by jaxk | 1 comments on Hacker News.
I am a front end guy reading up on databases for some backend task. It seems like graph databases try to manufacture a problem rather than address existing ones. They also always use either fraud detection or some such usecase that's niche among niche. That makes me wonder if businesses actually use/need them or its just a glorified academic project, but are there so many products in the space competing!! What's going on?
