Getting Started with GrapheneDB

This page will help you get started with GrapheneDB. You'll be up and running in a jiffy!

GrapheneDB is a hosting provider for Neo4j and ONgDB. We offer a variety of plans to go with your application's lifecycle.

With GrapheneDB, developers can focus on building graph-enabled applications instead of spending valuable time on operational tasks.

Getting started is easy. Simply create a GrapheneDB account, create a database, then connect your application to the database. The guide below will show you how to create your first database on GrapheneDB step-by-step.

Creating and connecting to your first GrapheneDB database

Step 1: Create a GrapheneDB account

In order to use GrapheneDB, you first need to create an account. Once you have created your account, you can create as many databases as you want.

For additional information about managing your account, editing billing details and adding collaborators, see GrapheneDB Account Management.

Step 2: Create a Neo4j Database

Once you have created a GrapheneDB account, you can create your first Neo4j database.

If you’re new to GrapheneDB and want to evaluate our service you can create a trial database and use GrapheneDB 14 days for free. You can read more here.

Once you’ve created a new database, you will need to create a new database user to connect to your database. Please take a look at the Database users article to read more on how to manage users for your database.

Neo4j databases come with a built-in, interactive UI that allows you to explore your database. To open the built-in Neo4j browser UI from GrapheneDB, navigate to the Overview tab of your database, then click on the Launch button under the Tools section.

The Neo4j browser UI can be used to explore a dataset, run live queries, and navigate the results either visually or in tabular form.

Step 4: Connect your app or terminal to your Neo4j Database

You can grab the connection details for your Neo4j database by navigating to the Connection tab.

Under the connection details, we also provide direct access for different programming language snippets for the most popular Neo4j drivers.

Support and Feedback

Support tickets can be opened from the user interface by clicking on the support link. The support ticket form lets users select the affected database and indicate a priority. Urgent tickets on production databases will be prioritized and escalated to our on-call engineers depending on the plan and urgency.

You can also reach us via email at [email protected] for non-urgent support requests. Please note that issues received by email are not automatically assigned any priorities and thus, we cannot ensure a timely response to urgent issues.
