We are excited to announce that Secondaries are now available for Neo4j AuraDB Business Critical instances!
This feature, previously exclusive to our Virtual Dedicated Cloud tier, brings a new level of read scalability and high availability to our enterprise-grade, multi-tenant AuraDB offering.
Now, you can enhance your Business Critical applications by:
- Boosting Read Performance: Offload read-intensive workloads—such as complex analytical queries and reporting dashboards—to a Secondary. This frees up your primary database to focus on transactional operations, improving overall application speed and responsiveness.
- Higher availability: Distributing multiple Secondaries across availability zones ensures fault tolerance and high availability—an outage in one zone doesn’t impact Secondaries in other zones.
Adding a Secondary to your Business Critical instance is simple and can be done directly from the Aura Console. Please see the Docs page for further information.

We are thrilled to bring this much-requested feature for read scaling to our Business Critical customers.
