Summary

The Docker + Neo4j combination has a long history, starting with the launch of the Community Edition Neo4j Docker image in beta about a year ago. After community feedback and iteration, the Official Repo was launched with support for both editions, including high availability capabilities. The image has received positive feedback from developers worldwide, with over 1 million pulls from the Docker repo. A notable example is the Graph Your Network application, which scaled to hundreds of simultaneous containers running Neo4j, allowing users to analyze their Twitter activity. The introduction of the Docker Store brings excitement as it enables users to rate and review images, receive faster updates, and provides access to high-quality images like Neo4j. This development also aligns with the need for developers to sharpen their skills in Neo4j, offering a free Learning Neo4j ebook to help them catch up.
