Summary

Neo4j offers a range of graph database options to match different stages and requirements, including the Community Edition with free, open-source capabilities for learning and development, Enterprise Edition for self-managed control over regulatory or compliance requirements, and AuraDB as a fully managed cloud service offering enterprise-grade security, compliance, and scalability. Teams should consider moving beyond Community Edition when their projects become production use, require higher reliability, need to scale beyond single instances, or require expert support. Successful upgrades have been made by Milanote and Flaminem, who achieved performance improvements and transformed user experiences with Neo4j Aura Pro and Enterprise Edition, respectively. By choosing the right Neo4j offering, organizations can unlock insights from connected data that traditional databases miss.
