The interview with Jesús Barrasa highlights the flexibility of graph databases like Neo4j, which supports rapid evolution and innovation in the telecom industry. Jesús appreciates the flexibility of the data model, allowing for agile iteration without painful migrations. He is also amazed by the performance of native graphs like Neo4j, particularly in path traversals and local queries. As someone with a background in graph technologies, Jesús brings expertise to Neo4j, having worked on various projects and PhD research in semantic technologies. He notes that learning Neo4j requires understanding the engine's secret sauce: how data is stored, which enables building effective models and queries. In the telecom industry, graphs can have a significant impact, particularly in network management, service delivery, and consumer-focused solutions. Jesús believes Neo4j will continue to grow in importance as automation of services becomes more prevalent with 5G and the Internet of Things. Finally, he advises someone getting started with Neo4j to download the software, play with it, and seek expert advice when needed to ensure success.
