Prefer the properties function over individual property lookup when retrieving all property values

The properties() function is used to return a map containing all properties for an entity, and is much more efficient than returning properties individually.

Assuming your Person nodes contain 5 properties, firstName, lastName, age, dept, and company, the following query would be preferred: 

MATCH (n:Person)
WHERE n.dept = 'AWS'
RETURN properties(n) as personDetails

Rather than using: 

MATCH (n:Person)
WHERE n.dept = 'AWS'
RETURN n.firstName, n.lastName, n.age, n.dept, n.company
    
=== OR ===
    
MATCH (n:Person)
WHERE n.dept = 'AWS'
RETURN {firstName: n.firstName, lastName: n.lastName, age: n.age, 
department: n.dept, company: n.company} as personDetails
