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
GraphRAG Capabilities
- Contextual Retrieval: Find semantically similar content while considering graph relationships
- Multi-hop Reasoning: Traverse multiple relationship levels to gather comprehensive context
- Entity Resolution: Link mentions across documents through graph connections
- Dynamic Context: Adapt retrieval strategy based on relationship patterns and data lineage
