This week we’re featuring a post by biomedical engineer Tom Nijhof, who explains how his performance issues were solved by using Cypher query parameters. This allows for the query plan to be cached and reused. The biggest graph technology event of the year, NODES 2022, is back November 16 and 17, 2022! We are honored to welcome as speakers: Ward Cunningham, the creator of Wiki; Ashleigh Faith, host of IsA DataThing YouTube channel; Rhys Evans from The Financial Times; and Kateryna Nesvit, Visiting Professor, Data Science at Marymount University.
