Summary

LendingClub, a leading online marketplace lending platform in America, utilizes Neo4j to manage its infrastructure and operate its online platform. The company's DevOps team uses Neo4j to automate the deployment of microservices, monitor and alert on system performance, and provide visibility into components that were previously unrelated. By loading all infrastructure components into Neo4j, the team gained a single, central hub of information that they could query at any time, allowing them to answer important questions vital to ensuring site uptime and diagnose issues quickly. The graph model also enabled automated monitoring, alerting, and reporting, as well as datacenter deployments and cloud migrations. Additionally, LendingClub's graph model has allowed for the creation of a unified pipeline across multiple tools, enabling self-service and ownership among engineers, and treating third-party tools uniformly. This flexibility has been crucial in adapting to changing technologies and infrastructure needs.
