Neo4j serves as our graph database foundation, enabling RAG capabilities, metadata storage, and knowledge graph operations with high-performance EC2 hosting.

Why Neo4j?

GraphRAG Foundation

Powers Graph Retrieval-Augmented Generation with native vector search and graph traversal

Fast Relational Queries

Cypher query language enables fast, intuitive graph pattern matching and traversal

Lineage Tracking

Native graph structure perfect for comprehensive lineage tracking and dependency graphs

Vector + Graph Search

Combines vector similarity search with graph relationships for superior semantic capabilities

GraphRAG with Neo4j

GraphRAG (Graph Retrieval-Augmented Generation) enhances traditional RAG by leveraging knowledge graphs to provide richer context and more accurate responses through relationship-aware retrieval.

Why Neo4j Excels at GraphRAG

Native Vector Search

Built-in vector indexing and similarity search without external dependencies

Graph Pattern Matching

Cypher’s powerful pattern matching finds complex relationships efficiently

Hybrid Queries

Single query combining vector similarity with graph traversal for rich context
