Neo4j

Native graph database server that stores nodes and relationships and is queried with the Cypher language.

Neo4j is a graph database server that stores data as nodes and relationships and is queried with the Cypher language. The operations manual covers installs from Debian, RPM and tar packages, a Windows zip archive and a Docker image, and it describes the server as a background process once started. The server runs on a Java virtual machine that the host has to supply, and Neo4j Browser is the developer interface that ships with it. Neo4j, Inc. maintains it, and Neo4j AuraDB is offered as a fully managed service.

Worth knowing

The repository holds the GPL-licensed source. The Enterprise Edition is closed source under a commercial license, and the documentation marks role-based access control and OpenID Connect sign-in as Enterprise Edition features.
