Viewing Contentful Data in Neo4j (Presentation & Hands-on Workshop)

This is a co-hosted event with Contentful, https://www.meetup.com/meetup-group-qCrvByhz/ and JS Monthly, https://www.meetup.com/js-monthly/

Chris Eyre, a Platform Architect at Pottermore (The Digital Heart of the Wizarding World), will demonstrate a utility that he wrote to visualize and query Contentful (a headless, cloud hosted Content Management System) opening opportunities to:

• Check content has been entered and published
• Locate duplicates
• Find orphan entries or images
• Allow queries across content types (the Contentful content api is one content type at a time)
• Count entries with a certain attribute (i.e. colour)
• Determine that a content type is unused
• Determine that a field is unused.
• Validate complex business rules (such as this field must have three of this entry attached)

If time permits, he will also demonstrate deploying this to a Graphene database hosted in Heroku.

For workshop, you will need:
-A laptop
-Neo4j installed (https://neo4j.com/download/)
-Node plus your favourite editor
-Git
-A Contentful account (minimum of free tier)

Optionally:
-A Heroku account with a credit card attached (it won't be billed for the demo)
Heroku CLI
