I've worked for the Neo4j team for over three years as a field engineer and will discuss worst practices and share stories to help you avoid common pitfalls when using Neo4j. When onboarding with Neo4j, it's essential to avoid testing the database for the first time on a mission-critical project, working with team members without graph database experience, ignoring business requirements, skipping training, and applying relational database logic. These mistakes can lead to significant problems in your graph database. Additionally, you should be cautious when using Neo4j as a BLOB store, hiding aspects in your data model, and indexing everything. Furthermore, avoid using Cartesian products in Cypher queries, test your code thoroughly, deploy Neo4j correctly, and understand the concept of clustering. Finally, don't live on the dark side of the community by joining meetup groups, discussing challenges on Google Groups, or asking questions on Stack Overflow with the Neo4j tag.
