RAG Databases with Johannes Jolkkonen: When to Choose a Graph Database vs Alternative Vector or Relational Stores
Welcome back, graph enthusiasts, to GraphStuff.FM, a podcast all about graphs and graph-related technologies! I'm your host, Jennifer Reif, and I am joined by Alison Cossette and guest Johannes Jolkkonen. Johannes is an independent consultant, using his background in data engineering to help companies build their RAG-applications, and he creates tutorials on YouTube around RAG, Knowledge Graphs and LLMs.
