Apache TinkerPop

What do you like best?

Graph theory is a branch of discrete mathematics that allows solving problems involving nodes and their relationships, such as: the shortest way to reach a place or find a needle in a haystack ... simplifying, of course. Apach TinkerPop offers a framework that allows to abstract the mathematical complexities of this type of problems to make life easier for the programmer. Making use of its benefits, the user can recreate nodes, relationships, their respective properties and search operations and complex calculations, implementing the predefined classes that come with the solution. The abstraction layer, provided, allows different tests with different APIs, before choosing the processor and the BD that best suits our requirements, facilitates the scale horizontally. The same code can be used from simple solutions to implementations of the world of Big Data with Spark or Hadoop, whose details are well documented in the available online referrals. TinkerPop is an open source project, distributed under the commercial friendly Apache2 license, with its own Gremlin Graph Traversal Machine and Language, which allows to empower the solution of complex problems of this branch of discrete mathematics

TinkerPop, makes graph theory as simple as a children's game with Gremlins.

What do you dislike?

perhaps, the implementation of a graphic environment with the functionalities to create nodes, relationships, etc.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

makes problem solving with graphs as easy as a children's game

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

can solve any problem where graph theory applies, this already makes it competitive in this aspect, with almost no adversary
