Case Study: albelli achieves faster photo data growth and monetization with Neo4j

Neo4j Helps Photo Organization Service Monetize Relationships in 1.2 Petabytes of Data

Albelli, a photo organization and printing company serving over a million users, needed a faster way to manage and search through massive volumes of connected photo data. Its legacy Microsoft SQL Server setup was slowed by complex JOINs, making it hard to scale its photo-sync and organizing platform while supporting a growing product business.

Neo4j helped Albelli build a modern graph-based data platform and migrate 1.2 petabytes of photo and customer data from on-premises systems to the cloud, with Neo4j storing the metadata relationships. The result was a faster, more responsive system that scaled to 1 billion nodes and 2.6 billion relationships, reduced coding and infrastructure complexity, and freed the team to focus on monetization, customer feedback, and cost reduction.
