Summary

The Neo4j graph database has released version 3.4, which advances its mission of helping the world make sense of data. The native graph database is the foundation for the rest of the Neo4j Graph Platform and features include multi-clustering, new data types such as date/time and 3D geospatial data, performance improvements, native string indexes for faster writes, fast backups, enterprise Cypher runtime up to 70% faster, and rolling upgrades. These updates enable optimized Cypher queries for searches across time or space, expand the scale, uses, and performance of the graph platform, and provide improved security features such as user- and role-based security, LDAP and AD directory integration, Kerberos authentication, HTTPS access to all user-facing interfaces, and encrypted data at rest. The release is aimed at both longstanding community developers and enterprise DBAs and is available for download.
