Creating a Neo4j Database
This page covers the configuration specific to Neo4j — its Database Mode and any engine-specific settings shown below. The rest of the creation flow — opening the wizard, namespace and name, version, machine profile, storage, and optional features — is the same for every engine and is documented in Common Steps.
Database Mode
Select the topology under Database Mode. Two modes are available:
- Standalone — A single-node instance. Best for development or low-traffic workloads.
- Replicaset — A multi-node cluster for high availability. Set the Number of Replicas (e.g.,
3).
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Number of Replicas | Number of nodes in the cluster (e.g., 3). Required for Replicaset. |
Neo4j Settings
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Storage Type | Durable (persistent volumes) or Ephemeral (no persistence). |
| Disable Security | Run without authentication (development only). |
| TLS | Configure TLS per protocol — Bolt, HTTP, and Cluster — each signed by the selected Issuer. |
