Summary

Neo4j has announced the general availability of Neo4j AuraDB on Google Cloud Platform (GCP), a fully managed graph database service that provides a seamless and simplified experience for cloud developers. The integration allows users to launch Neo4j AuraDB with just a few clicks, unify expenditures with their Google services, and automatically apply existing credits towards lower costs. With GCP and AuraDB combined, it becomes easy to use graph technology in any distributed cloud application, and users can spin up AuraDB to load data into a graph and start using Cypher and graph tooling immediately. The service is always-on, with database management on autopilot and no downtime or maintenance window. Users can scale the service on demand without interruption. Neo4j AuraDB is now listed on the GCP Marketplace, with a user-friendly control surface that integrates with Google Project billing. The pricing remains predictable, with pay-as-you-go pricing at an hourly rate, and costs are identical to when using the Neo4j.com experience. The current version of Neo4j AuraDB is suitable for small businesses and startups, but users can also opt for BYOL offerings on GCE and GKE or an enterprise Cloud Managed Service (CMS) offering.
