Extending Gremlin with Foundational Steps

Gremlin provides the most technology agnostic way to develop graph applications. Gremlin is the graph query language of Apache TinkerPop, which is the open source graph computing framework used by much of the graph database community, including DataStax Enterprise Graph.

This presentation aims to demystify the more intermediate to advanced aspects of Gremlin and allow users of any level to become more effective when writing graph queries. It will explain Gremlin’s functional, data-flow style, and demonstrate how it can be extended to a Domain Specific Language (DSL) to encapsulate foundational and domain specific logic for better code organization and reusability.
