Interestingly, relational databases are really poor at handling relational, i.e. connected, data. With graph databases, like the neo4j implementation, relations are the fundamental building block, and there is hardly any gap between sketching out entities and relations on a whiteboard and implementing the corresponding data model (or querying it with Cypher for that matter). Time to forget about foreign keys, join statements etc. and exploit the flexibility and performance of graph databases :-) Do read the free text book by O'Reilly!
