Best practices

In this module, you will learn best practices for using the Neo4j .NET Driver in production applications.

You will cover the following topics:

• Opening async sessions with driver.AsyncSession()
• Executing read and write transactionsiFull definition for transaction (opens in a new tab)A unit of work that either succeeds in full or leaves no trace. using ExecuteReadAsync() and ExecuteWriteAsync()
• Implementing the unit of work patterniFull definition for pattern (opens in a new tab)A graph structure written in Cypher, such as a node joined to another node by a relationship. for grouping related queries
• Understanding thread safety constraintsiFull definition for constraint (opens in a new tab)A rule the database enforces on every node or relationship with a given label or type, rejecting any write that breaks it. on sessions vs the driver
• Handling database errors with Neo4jException, ClientException, and TransientException
• Using the IsRetriable propertyiFull definition for property (opens in a new tab)A named value stored on a node or a relationship. to determine whether an operation can be retried
