Comment on Ask HN: Implementing a graph database using Postgres tables for nodes and edges?parent

Comments

I was never able to use Neo4J as a first level database on a busy website. Simple traversals were just too slow. I ended up maintaining a simple in-memory structure on a pair of machines behind a load balancer with all writes going to sql and then propagated to the graph instances. I realise this introduces issues around read-your-writes etc, but good enough for my use case.
