circular referencing is freak symbolism; I don't know why this would be a good logo for any brand.

Currently, using Gremlin on AWS Neptune. The learning curve was steep.

If the situation calls for it, sure! The current use case is sort of up in the air. The decision was made to use a graph database to store the mutation of records over time, but then the higher ups want to limit what's put in it, so... I'm not sure if the computation costs are worth what it's actually capable of. From what I'm gathering, if one is looking to store complex data, which is highly connected through edge-case relationships, as in, greater than 5 types of edges, then it might be worth looking into, but I can't imagine how a dynamic/traditional table database wouldn't have been faster in terms of what we need it for, querying large lists of data, with 3-4 edge traversals.

I only have a year~+ of experience with databases, so grain of salt. In terms of personal preference, working with a graph database has been quite fun.

Splitting is also common among individuals who have upset personality disorder. Such a horrible disease; I can only hope we once live in a world where upset personality disorder is identifiable and treatable.
