Query and analyse connected data.

Write Cypher, run graph algorithms and inspect the results in Explorer.

Predictable memory

Properties live on disk behind a bounded cache. Graph structure and indexes stay in memory. Tune storage and durability to the workload.

How storage works

The Cypher you know

Send parameterised Cypher from native drivers in seven languages. The compatibility guide lists exactly what is supported.

Drivers

Algorithms built in

Centrality, community detection and path finding run inside the database, alongside vector, spatial and full-text indexes.

Graph analytics

Your first graph.

Two nodes and a relationship, created and queried in Cypher. Connect from Python or JavaScript with a Bolt driver.

  • Cypher reads and writes
  • Native drivers for seven languages
  • Explorer to see the result
Quickstart

// Create two nodes and a relationship between them

CREATE (you:Developer {name: 'You'}),
       (idea:Idea {name: 'Recipe finder'}),
       (you)-[:BUILDS]->(idea);

MATCH (you:Developer)-[:BUILDS]->(idea)
RETURN you.name, idea.name;
