At the Neo4j London user group, we've seen many talks on how to use Neo4j for exploiting connected data. But how does Neo4j make working with connected data so effective? In this presentation we'll find out how as Neo4j hacker Tobias Lindaaker takes us on a guided tour through the Neo4j's internals.

We'll discover how the internal data structures are leveraged to provide fast traversals, how live backups work, and how multiple servers synchronize in an HA cluster. As a Neo4j user you'll find a working knowledge of the database will give you enough "mechanical sympathy" to make your data really fly. And after this talk you'll feel confident contributing code that scratches your connected data itches.
