Architecture

Neo4j Architecture Overview Neo4j is a high-performance graph database designed to handle complex relationships. The core components include:

• Nodes and Relationships: Nodes store data, while relationships define the connections between them.

• Cypher Query Language: Neo4j’s query language used for querying and updating data.

• Bolt Protocol: A lightweight binary protocol for efficient communication between applications and the database.

• Clustering and High Availability: Neo4j supports clustering to ensure fault tolerance and scalability.

• Indexing and Caching: Improves query performance by optimizing data retrieval.

• Security Model: Includes role-based access control and authentication mechanisms.
