I wouldn’t say the benchmarks put out by graph databases are bullshit. But there is a need for a standardisation of how they’re produced.

The main problem is that when you’re comparing two products you’re bound to be comparing apples to oranges. Every product solves a slightly or majorly different challenge.

So when you run n tests on two different products some tests are bound to perform better on one product and some on the other. Misleading marketing comes into the picture if you only publish the ones that went your way or just partial results.

But that’s why if you believe in your own product and want benchmarks you hire a reputable third party to do them on their own accord.
