I'm excited to announce a new tutorial series where we'll be building a social media backend from scratch using Spring Boot and Neo4j. This series will provide you with a practical, real-world application development experience that you won't find anywhere else!

### 🗂️ What We'll Cover

We'll start with the tickets from our current sprint, covering essential features such as:

- Creating User, Page, and Post Nodes

- Updating Node Details

- Establishing Relationships between Nodes (e.g., Likes, Comments, Follows)

Every week, we'll continue where we left off, adding new features and functionalities.

### 🛠️ Why Neo4j?

Most tutorials out there use relational databases, but in today's era, graph databases like Neo4j offer significant advantages for social media applications, including:

- **Natural Representation of Social Networks**: Nodes and relationships mirror real-world social connections, making queries more intuitive.

- **Efficient Query Performance**: Neo4j excels at traversing relationships, enabling faster retrieval of complex social data like mutual friends or recommendations.

- **Flexibility and Scalability**: Easily adapt to changes in your data model without the need for complex migrations.

### 📜 Example Cypher Queries

Here's a sneak peek at some Cypher queries we'll use:

```plaintext

// Create Users

CREATE (user1:User {id: 'user1', name: 'User 1', dob: date('1996-01-23'), gender: 'MALE', language: 'en', countryIso2: 'US', createdAt: localdatetime(), updatedAt: localdatetime()})

CREATE (user2:User {id: 'user2', name: 'User 2', dob: date('2003-01-23'), gender: 'MALE', language: 'en', countryIso2: 'US', createdAt: localdatetime(), updatedAt: localdatetime()})

CREATE (user3:User {id: 'user3', name: 'User 3', dob: date('2023-01-23'), gender: 'FEMALE', language: 'fr', countryIso2: 'BE', createdAt: localdatetime(), updatedAt: localdatetime()})

// Create Page

CREATE (page1:Page {id: 'page1', name: 'Code With Bisky', description: 'Learning real world application development', createdAt: localdatetime(), updatedAt: localdatetime()})

// Create Post

CREATE (post1:Post {id: 'post1', title: 'How do you feel these days my guys', createdAt: localdatetime(), updatedAt: localdatetime()})

CREATE (post2:Post {id: 'post2', title: 'What a great weekend with the family', createdAt: localdatetime(), updatedAt: localdatetime()})

// Create Relationship between User and Page

MATCH (user1:User {id: 'user1'}), (page1:Page {id: 'page1'})

MERGE (user1)-[relationship:OWNS]->(page1)

  ON CREATE SET relationship.createdAt = localdatetime(), relationship.updatedAt = localdatetime()

  ON MATCH SET relationship.updatedAt = localdatetime()

// Create Relationship between Page and Posts

MATCH (page1:Page {id: 'page1'}), (post1:Post {id: 'post1'})

MERGE (page1)-[relationship1:OWNS]->(post1)

  ON CREATE SET relationship1.createdAt = localdatetime(), relationship1.updatedAt = localdatetime()

  ON MATCH SET relationship1.updatedAt = localdatetime()

// And many more...

```

### 🌟 Future Features

We'll also explore integrating AI to enhance our social media app with features like:

- **Personalized Recommendations**: Use AI to recommend posts, pages, and friends based on user activity.

- **Content Moderation**: Implement AI-powered moderation to detect and manage inappropriate content.

- **Enhanced User Engagement**: Utilize machine learning algorithms to analyze user behavior and optimize content delivery.
