Just wondering if there are graph algorithms beyond the textbook ones that are still being designed/devised? This post [1] from a few days back prompted this question.[1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27294401
I am a front end guy reading up on databases for some backend task. It seems like graph databases try to manufacture a problem rather than address existing ones. They also always use either fraud detection or some such usecase that's niche among niche. That makes me wonder if businesses actually use/need them or its just a glorified academic project, but are there so many products in the space...
