JanusGraph is a scalable graph database that is optimized to store and query graphs with billions of vertices and edges distributed across a multi-machine cluster. We'll share several uses cases from IBM products that take advantage of a graph database to highlight the strengths that graph provides over relational and other NoSQL alternatives. We'll discuss the JanusGraph architecture which gives developers the flexibility to leverage their knowledge and operational skills from other storage backends. We'll cover how open source developers from the community united to establish JanusGraph at the Linux Foundation.

This session will also cover project highlights from the JanusGraph releases in 2019, and then explore upcoming trends in the open source graph ecosystem, including Graph Query Language (GQL) standardization at ISO, the Schema Definition Language from the Property Graph Schema Working Group, and Apache TinkerPop 4.
