AuraDB Business Critical

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.

Data Importer

Import

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

Learn more:

Authentication guide
Blog post walkthrough - featuring a Google Cloud Workflows example to schedule imports

The same functionality is also available via the Aura CLI.

We’d love to hear how this API fits into your workflows — share your thoughts or suggestions on our feedback page.

Aura Agent (Preview)

We’re excited to announce that Aura Agent is now available in our Early Access Program (EAP) for all Aura customers — across AuraDB Free, Professional, and Business Critical instances!

With Aura Agent, you can create, test, and deploy knowledge-graph–grounded AI agents in minutes — directly from the Aura console. This no-/low-code platform simplifies the process of building GraphRAG agents, so you can focus on solving real problems instead of wrestling with infrastructure.

Key Features

No-/low-code agent builder: Create and configure AI agents directly in the Aura console
Graph-grounded explainability: Agents provide accurate, transparent reasoning with answers derived from your AuraDB knowledge graph

Flexible retrieval tools:

Cypher templates (for precise query logic)
Vector similarity search (for semantic similarity with embeddings)
Text2Cypher (for ad-hoc natural language queries)
Agent deployment: Test in the console or deploy to an external Aura API endpoint with Aura API authentication

Why It Matters

Faster experimentation: Go from idea → working GraphRAG agent in minutes
Enterprise-ready foundation: While EAP is experimental, GA later this year will bring full production support
Broad applicability: If you have a knowledge graph in Aura, you can build an agent on it

To get started, please check out the following resources:

We're excited to hear your feedback!

Neo4j Aura Database September Release Update

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

This month's release introduces a new function in Cypher 25, performance improvements and better error messages.

Key updates

New
format()
Function in Cypher 25
: You can now format temporal values into a custom string pattern directly in your query.
Smarter Query Planner
: We’ve improved the query planner's logic to more frequently choose a faster index scan, boosting performance for certain queries.
Better Cypher Version Errors
: If you run a valid Cypher 25 query while in Cypher 5 mode, the error message will now inform you that the query would succeed in Cypher 25, making it easier to identify and resolve version-specific syntax issues.

Fixes

Fixed a very rare bug where a uniqueness constraint could incorrectly allow duplicate properties while the index was being populated.
Resolved an issue that could lead to incorrect results for queries using
shortestPath()
in combination with an
all()
predicate.
Addressed several bugs that could lead to errors, including NullPointerException during concurrent node deletions, OutOfMemoryError during query planning, and failures in queries using pipelined runtime.
Relationship indexes are now correctly displayed in the output of SHOW TRANSACTIONS.

Query Log Forwarding now available!

We’re excited to announce: Query Log Forwarding is now available!

With this new feature, customers can set up and manage query log forwarding directly from the Aura console. Logs can be sent to a cloud logging service of your choice, enabling better compliance, monitoring, and operational visibility.

Supported targets:

Google Cloud Logging (GCP)
CloudWatch (AWS)
Log Analytics (Microsoft Azure)

If you operate in multiple regions, you can configure a separate forwarding process for each cloud provider and region.

Key benefits:

Supports regulatory, compliance, or operational requirements where Query Log Analyzer may not suffice
Provides functionality similar to existing Security Log forwarding
Near real-time streaming — logs are forwarded as they’re generated and typically available within seconds

Once configured, all eligible AuraDB instances in the same cloud provider and region will automatically forward query logs to your chosen service. Please note that volume-based egress charges will apply.
