I recently returned from Venice, Italy, where I had the pleasure of celebrating the 15th anniversary of my friends and partners from AgileLarus. The event was a great success, with presentations on graph algorithms and integrations with Neo4j and Apache Kafka. Our team enjoyed sharing knowledge with students at the University of Venice and presenting to partners and customers of LARUS. I also had the opportunity to see da Vinci's "Vetruvian Man" and other rare drawings in the Accademia Gallery, which was an amazing experience. The event marked a significant milestone for LARUS, as they became one of Neo4j's first partner, training partner, and solutions providers. Since then, we have been working together on various projects, including the Neo4j JDBC driver and Apache Zeppelin integration. I'm looking forward to our continued collaboration, which will include Neo4j GraphQL integration and official support for Neo4j customers with Confluent's Kafka integrations. Working with Lorenzo and his team has been an enjoyable and productive experience, and I hope we continue our partnership for a long time.
