@edjroot I don't know if this is any different than what you already saw, but the biggest differences are:

- Neo4j is Master-Slave, GUN is Master-Master (or Multi-Master, or Masterless). Basically, GUN is P2P/decentralized, Neo4j is centralized.

- GUN has realtime updates/sync built in, Neo4j does not.

- GUN has offline-first features, Neo4j does not.

Other considerations:

- Neo4j has its own query language, GUN has a FRP (Functional Reactive Programming) based JS API.

- Neo4j is over a decade old, GUN since late 2014.

- Neo4j is more monolithic, GUN is more microservice-y.
