Discover how Medium improved its publication service by adding a social layer to its platform allowing anyone to recommend stories and collections, follow other writers and ultimately enable the creation of a recommendation engine to suggest personalized reading lists. During the Webinar, Nathaniel will explain the business problem that Medium was trying to solve, the process that lead Medium to picking Neo4j over other competing solutions, the implementations and deployment steps, and finally the lessons learned from using Neo4j in production.
