What this is
GraphAcademy is Neo4j's own learning platform: the Cypher language, modelling data as graphs, application integration. The Neo4j Certified Professional exam is taken there in the browser and costs nothing.
The niche is narrow, and that is exactly why it is worth something: graph databases run fraud detection, recommendations and knowledge graphs, and the competition is far thinner than on the SQL side.
Who it is for
Backend and data engineers who want one distinctive line on the CV.
