Why Nasa Converted Its Lessons-Learned Database into a Knowledge Graph

This seems to be an advertisement albeit a strange one. They make it clear that NASA used Neo4J rather than Nuclino. Neo4J is a true graph database, but I didn't find anything on the Nuclino website that suggests what Nuclino really is or what technology it uses.

Nuclino is a tool to write documentation and the only thing "graph" about it, from my understanding as a user, is you can link to different documents within nuclino which then generates a graph. This graph nuclino visualises so the user can explore the documentation.

In my experience this exploring thing kinda only makes sense when you want to document doing/trying the same thing again ( which NASA probably is). If you are just documenting how to connect to a database, set something up or similar it, to me, falls pretty glat. Maybe I'm using it wrong...

No idea what they use under the hood.

Wikipedia says it's written in Javascript. If true, that's kind of horrifying. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclino

Why so? From their site, it looks like they are not really selling a grpah db but a webapp. Lots of application are written in NodeJs.
