In this chapter, you learned about Cypher queries, the clauses that give Cypher its inherent power, and how to optimize your queries and data model in order to make the query engine robust. We saw the best practices for improved performance using the types of indexing we can use on our data including manual, auto, and schema-based indexing practices.

In the next chapter, we will look at graph models and schema design patterns while working with Neo4j.
