Talk
Marvel Studios release fun new series at such a rapid rate that it's hard to keep up.

We can follow along by indulging in the rich connected network of the superheroes and their stories as a graph. Today, we want to grab the data from the Marvel APIs, import them into a free Neo4j cloud instance and visualize and explore them interactively. To top it off, we'll derive a GraphQL API from the data and query it directly. This will be a hands-on session where you can code along or just watch and enjoy, much like your favorite Marvel movies.
