About Neo4j
Neo4j pushes Aura toward operational maturity — concurrency, billing observability, and GQL-standard Cypher.
Neo4j's recent work is almost entirely about Aura, its managed graph-database cloud. The cadence is a monthly database release advancing Cypher 25 / GQL-standard features, wrapped in a steady stream of platform plumbing: billing APIs and a new billing dashboard, project lifecycle controls, larger adjustable storage on AWS, native graph projections for analytics, and tooling that connects Desktop and a new CLI to Aura. The product is maturing from an engine into a fully operable managed service.
