Graph vs Traditional Systems

Tables show what happened. Graph shows how it connects

Traditional Approach

Key Points:
  • Looks at individual records
  • Requires complex joins
  • Hard to explain multi-step patterns
  • Slower for relationship-heavy questions
  • Limited AI context

Graph Approach

Key Points:
  • Looks at relationships between records
  • Traverses connected data naturally
  • Makes paths and connections visible
  • Built for connected queries
  • Strong foundation for GraphRAG and reasoning
