how to create neo4j embedded rest server on web hosting platforms

Question

I am using neo4j with spring data in my spring mvc application. Ccurrently I am in dev environment and have configured neo4j as an embedded server.Now due to some reason multiple applications will be using this db so I have configured neo4j as embedded rest server running as a single application.

So in all the client applications I pass http://localhost:7474/db/data/ to the org.springframework.data.neo4j.rest.SpringRestGraphDatabase class as instructed in https://blog.codecentric.de/en/2012/02/spring-data-neo4j/ . Can I use this kind of setup on web hosting platform say mochahost.com because this setup needs port number and I guess I will not be allowed to use port in this fashion? Also if it is not possible, is there any alternative to it?

Answer 1

Sure you can use outgoing ports. For hosting your cloud database you might want to look at http://graphenedb.com

One word of caution though. SDN over REST is not yet optimized and will not provide the same performance as the embedded server.

You should try to mostly use repositories with cypher statements that return simple data mapped with @MapResult or @QueryResult
