Ep76: Batching in Native Cypher + Avoiding Injection Vulnerabilities

Listen Later

A quieter week, but still full of forward motion — from clearing the Neo4j developer blog backlog and making progress on the upcoming Java book, to lining up upcoming speaking events. Plus, two developer-focused content pieces I hope you enjoy as much as I did.

This Week's Updates:

  • Rescheduling the GraphRAG Fundamentals training (likely June, APAC-friendly time zones)
  • Cleared a backlog of community submissions for the Neo4j Developer Blog — open to anyone with a Medium account
  • Cypher/SQL injection understanding from Neo4j Definitive Guide book
  • Writing progress on a new AI-first Java learning book, drawing on literary aspirations and music pedagogy principles for a fresh teaching approach
  • New speaking opportunities coming in May and June — stay tuned

    • Content Pieces:

    • "Batching Like a Pro" by Gemma Lamont — A detailed feature comparison of apoc.periodic.iterate vs. native Cypher CALL IN TRANSACTIONS, covering memory tracking, error handling, query planning, concurrency, entity rebinding, and retry strategies. The gap has largely closed — native Cypher is nearly on par.
    • NODES AI videos now on YouTube — All session recordings from Nodes AI are publicly available. Link in the show notes.
