Not in my country (in Europe). You get unemployment benefits for 2+ years that is a percentage of your salary up to a certain level. The maximum you can get is around $40k USD, which can be difficult because you probably have a mortgage and other expenses that were calibrated to a much higher salary.

You are also required to actively apply for jobs, and you may be required to take a job application course. I think you can even be assigned to a job interview if you delay. It is not intended as a "free" paid vacation. I think that even in some cases you are theoretically required to take any job anywhere in the country even if you have to move, but I haven't heard of anyone who had to do that. I assume they look at your social situation (family etc.)

After 2 years you are placed into a different type of program where you don't get a fixed amount, but you get money according to what the local government decides you need. That means you would need to sell your big house and move to a cheaper appartement if you want to get any support. If you had any savings, you would probably have to spend them before getting any assistance.

I'm considering using a graph database for a SaaS product. If I used Apache AGE, I would probably have a "graph" for each customer to partition the data. Are there any downsides or limitations to having thousands of separate graphs?

From the documentation it seems that each graph will use a separate "namespace" in Postgres. Are there any performance costs of switching namespaces for each query?

Or do you recommend that we use a single graph with a label per customer? This option seems like it could open up some security issues if some queries forget to add this label. By using a separate graph per customer, the query will need to have a valid graph name for a customer to return any data. If it is filtered by a label, you can easily forget to add it and think everything is OK because it actually returns results.
