Now Available: Default Cypher Version Setting for Organizations

Since the release of Cypher 25 in June 2025, Cypher 5 has entered long-term support. All new features are now released exclusively on Cypher 25 each month.
While Cypher 5 remains the default version on Aura, and you can still use ALTER DATABASE
 commands to set the default Cypher version of an individual instance, we have been working to make it easier for you to use the exciting new capabilities of Cypher 25 on Aura. 
Starting today, Organization Owners and Admins can set Cypher 25
 as the default version for all new instances
 in their Organization directly from the Aura Console.
To do this, navigate to: Organization Settings > General Settings.
Existing instances will keep their Cypher version, and you need to use ALTER DATABASE
 commands to change their Cypher version.
This update allows you to get the most out of Neo4j Aura by easily taking advantage of the new Cypher functions and procedures available in Cypher 25. You can also switch back to Cypher 5 whenever you choose.
Check out our documentation - Organization Settings and Managing Cypher version of an Instance for more information!

Terraform Provider for AuraDB now available in Neo4j Labs

Now available in Neo4j Labs — we’re excited to announce the Beta 1 release of the Terraform Provider for Neo4j Aura!
You can access it directly from the Terraform Provider Repository for immediate use in your Terraform configurations, or build and run it yourself from the source code on GitHub.
The Neo4j Aura Terraform Provider brings a fully declarative, infrastructure-as-code (IaC) approach to managing your AuraDB environments. By codifying interactions with the Aura Management API, teams can streamline, standardize, and automate the provisioning and lifecycle management of AuraDB resources.
With this initial beta, you can:
Retrieve information about Aura projects
Create, modify, pause, resume, and delete AuraDB instances
Take and restore AuraDB snapshots
Create new AuraDB instances from snapshots
Additional capabilities will continue to roll out as we evolve the provider.
We’d love to hear what you think — please share your feedback on our Aura General Feedback board, or via your Account Manager!

Introducing Native Vector Type in Neo4j Aura

We’ve added a first-class Vector data type to Neo4j for storing embedding vectors directly as typed, fixed-length vectors instead of generic lists.
What it is
A new VECTOR<dtype>(length) property type that’s fully supported across drivers v6+, Cypher 25, storage, constraints, and Aura/Neo4j 2025.10.
It gives you a clean, explicit way to work with embeddings in application code and Cypher.
Benefits of Native Vector Type in Aura
Simpler code 
— First‑class vectors in the drivers mean fewer helpers and fewer mistakes.
Integrity by default 
— Property‑type constraints enforce shape and dtype and protect your indexes.
Future‑ready
 — Unlocks vector‑specific functions, indexes, and storage optimizations over time.
Native types are supported end to end: Neo4j drivers → Bolt protocol → Cypher → Storage engine → Constraints.
Read our launch blog for a deep dive and code examples.

Adjustable Storage now available for AuraDB on Azure!

We’re excited to announce that Adjustable Storage is now available for AuraDB Professional, Business Critical and Virtual Dedicated Cloud tier customers deploying on MSFT Azure cloud. 
This feature, previously released for AWS & GCP, allows customers on Azure to independently scale storage and RAM for their AuraDB instances. You can now adjust your storage capacity without the need to increase your instance size - helping you avoid unnecessary costs.
This capability is available for new deployments and resizes running the latest Neo4j version and can be configured via both the API and Console.
What’s New
With Adjustable Storage, you can now scale storage and RAM independently—giving you greater flexibility to increase storage capacity without upgrading instance size, while also reducing compute costs.
Benefits of Adjustable Storage:
Greater Flexibility: Scale resources to suit your needs
Cost Efficiency: Avoid additional compute expense when only extra storage is required
Improved Experience: Eliminate manual processes and custom workaround support requests

Neo4j Aura Database October Release Update

The Neo4j Aura October release is now rolling out—starting with AuraDB Free and gradually extending to higher-tier instances.

🚀 New Cypher Features

VECTOR

Type Support
: We've introduced
VECTOR
as a new supported type in Cypher, Block store format and v6 drivers.
Construct Temporals from Strings
: You can now construct temporal values (like dates and times) from formatted strings, with the option to provide patterns for the conversion. This complements the feature to format temporal values into strings in last month's release.

🛠️ Improvements

Better Error Highlighting
: To help you debug faster, Cypher errors in JSON query logs and cypher-shell will now
display the query string along with a position marker
pointing to where the error occurred.

🐞 Bug Fixes

Cypher
: We now allow using
null
as a default value for non-primitive procedure parameters, and fixed a bug where values in the options maps for
CREATE INDEX
and
CREATE CONSTRAINTS
could be transposed.
Server
: A rare issue was fixed where malformed tokens (like empty strings) could bypass validation and cause a database panic, and a stack overflow error is now prevented when sorting free IDs for big value store.

Announcing the Aura Import API

We’re excited to introduce the Aura Import API, making it easier to automate and manage your data imports into Aura programmatically — whether you’re scheduling recurring jobs or integrating imports into your CI/CD pipelines.

This release is part of the new v2beta1 API, expanding Aura’s automation capabilities. The existing v1 API remains available for broader instance management.

New endpoints include:

POST /import/jobs
— Run an import job
GET /import/jobs/{AURA_API_IMPORT_JOB_ID}
— Check job status (with optional progress details)
POST /import/jobs/{AURA_API_IMPORT_JOB_ID}/cancellation
— Cancel a running job

The same functionality is also available via the Aura CLI.
