It sounds interesting but based on their tendency to overhype everything - I am a little skeptical. Have they finally managed to fix the scalability issues?

Thank you. I did some more in depth research and it sounds like they just fixed their clustering mechanism to actually do some sharding like elasticsearch and TigerGraph.

Calling it Infinigraph is a much better marketing move than saying “We finally fixed our clustering implementation to properly shard and scale”.

Neo4j Hype Translator:

Input Hype: “Neo4j Launches Breakthrough Infinigraph Architecture to Unify Transactional and Operational Workloads”

Output Hype Translation: After over a decade of “clustering”, Neo4j finally figured out sharding, basically fixing the thing their clustering should’ve done from the start.
