Hey, Does anyone here had experience integrating Django with Neo4J? In my current project, the way data is being updated or retrieved is through Graph raw queries that's written as separate functions which does its purpose. But it's not looking good and hard to maintain. Is there any other OGM kind of implementation which exists that makes life easier? PS: I've heard about neomodel but not sure how much reliable it is.

I had used Django and Neo4J about 3-4 years ago now. Neomodel is what I had gone with at that time as well. In my opinion, it was reliable, but that wasn't the issue. Not every single use case we could write the query using OGM/ORM, fairly often I had to fall back to writing the equivalent of raw queries. But for basic queries and use cases neomodel was good and easy to write similar to the Django ORM. Again, my experience is from a while ago, things might have improved since then.

Yeah Ankit. I’ve felt that too. The hesitation what I had with neomodel was it’s releases were stopped after 2017 and just 3 months back there were some few bug fixes added. Not sure we can develop with depending on that.

Haha, okay, so things really haven't improved since then as there isn't really active development in the repo. But I'd still use it for the the basic queries as it does really make it easier for writing those at least.
