In this chapter, we first looked at the utilities and adapters that have been developed for use with most popular languages and frameworks with Neo4j. We also looked into the configurations and tricks that administrators can make use of in order to obtain optimum performance out of their deployments. In the process, we also discussed caches, memory mapped I/O and logging configurations, and how we can secure access to a Neo4j server instance.

In the next chapter, we will be looking at a use case of Neo4j, where we will work on a recommendation engine, and discuss the best practices for development and deployment of a practical application.
