Summary

In today's data-driven world, well-established relational database management systems (RDBMS) like Oracle continue to be a backbone of millions of enterprise applications. However, by harnessing the power of both a graph database like Neo4j and Oracle RDBMS through a polyglot persistence architecture, organizations can tap into the strengths of each technology to deliver improved performance, agility, and scalability. By using Neo4j for unstructured or highly connected data and leveraging Oracle's capabilities for structured data, developers and architects can create applications that use the right database for the right use case, resulting in superior query performance for connected data and a reduced risk of throwing away existing investments in Oracle infrastructure.
