Neo4j Community Edition
Get started with a community-supported graph database—or try Neo4j AuraDB, a fully managed, high-performance cloud offering that scales as your data grows, with built-in security and reliability.
Why Graph Databases?
Unlike traditional databases that strip away context, Neo4j preserves relationships by storing data as connected nodes. Neo4j eliminates complex JOINs, enables lightning-fast multi-hop queries, as data is effectively pre-joined, and supports agile development with a flexible schema. For a ready-to-use option, AuraDB delivers this as a fully managed cloud solution.

Neo4j Community Edition
Free, self-managed option, where you handle deployment, security, and scaling yourself.
Neo4j AuraDB
Fully managed graph database that's secure, always on, and ideal for production environments. Start for free with AuraDB's no-cost tier.
Enterprise Support
Community support only. No on-call technical support.
24/7 premium support with dedicated account managers and optional professional services.
Security & Compliance
Basic encryption (TLS/SSL) with manual security and compliance management.
Complete security suite with RBAC, encryption, SSO, customer-managed keys, and with GDPR, SOC 2 Type 2, and HIPAA. VPC isolation with private endcompliance points.
Maintenance & Operations
Self-managed deployment requires database expertise and additional resources.
Fully managed service with monitoring dashboards, easy instance management, automated updates, and point-in-time recovery.
High Availability and Uptime SLA
Requires manual data replication and custom code for high availability.
99.95% uptime SLA with fault-tolerant architecture, zero-downtime updates, and automatic failover.
Scalability & Performance
Built-in index-free adjacency for fast graph traversals, but requires manual performance tuning.
Scale up to 512GB RAM with optimized compute. Faster processing and real-time data consistency across billions of nodes. Route read-intensive queries to Secondaries.
Monitoring and Alerts
Requires manual setup of external monitoring tools with limited built-in visibility into performance metrics.
Built-in dashboards for real-time monitoring of CPU, storage, memory usage, and other critical metrics.
Vector Optimization for Generative AI
Not available.
Vector-optimized for efficient, reliable data retrieval in Generative AI applications.
Data Integrity
Manual consistency enforcement is required.
Automated constraints for property existence, type, and unique node/relationship keys.
Productivity & Visualization
Basic graph exploration in the Browser with limited Bloom functionality. NeoDash is not officially supported.
Unified Aura console with GenAI copilot for data administration, modeling, and data exploration. NeoDash integration for interactive visualization.
Cloud Credits
