Neo4j Production Ready: Enterprise Cloud

The cloud today has become the primary deployment option for startups and is gaining adoption across the worlds largest enterprises. As with other critical infrastructure holding sensitive organization or customer data, there are several key questions enterprises must consider when evaluating the Neo4j graph database cloud deployments.

When running Neo4j in production, especially for an enterprise, the obvious baseline is to use the Neo4j Enterprise edition because it offers high availability clustering, cache sharding, hot backup, enhanced monitoring, and a several other critical production features. Taking a shortcut here will leave your enterprise vulnerable to outages, data loss and little ability to upgrade as new versions of Neo4j are released.

Essential Neo4j Enterprise Database Features

In addition to the high availability clustering and hot backups a few of the key benefits of Neo4j Enterprise include:
  • Enterprise Lock Manager
    The enterprise lock manager enables high levels of concurrency through fast lock resolution, which provides vertical scaling of concurrent applications beyond 5 CPU cores.
  • Cache Sharding
    For large graphs this is very useful when paired with sticky sessions because it provides a high cache hit
