AuraDB Business Critical

Neo4j Aura Console moving to console.neo4j.io

We previously communicated that the Aura Console would be moving to the console.neo4j.io domain. This change has now been completed.
No action is required for this update. However, as noted in earlier direct communications, customers who use
neo4j-admin
to upload backup files to Aura must upgrade to the 2025.04 release.
This upgrade ensures continued compatibility for neo4j-admin database upload commands (specifically neo4j-admin push to cloud on version 4) with the unified Neo4j Aura Console.
Users of
Explore
in the Aura Console may notice that some Perspectives stored in browser local storage are not visible on the new domain. These Perspectives are still accessible via console-preview.neo4j.io. A Knowledge Base article is linked from Explore and explains how to migrate these Perspectives to the new domain if needed.
This change does not impact any instances participating in the Bloom Enterprise EAP for Scene saving and Perspective sharing.
Users of
Query
and
Dashboards
may notice history and styling are not persisted after the move. You can read more about how to recover them by reading a separate Knowledge Base article.
If you experience any issues, please reach out to Neo4j Customer Support.
Thanks,
The Aura Team
Neo4j Aura Virtual Dedicated Cloud is now live in AWS Thailand (ap-southeast-7). This release comes directly from customer feedback calling for more in-region options across APAC, helping teams deploy Aura closer to their applications while meeting local data residency needs.
The Thailand region is now accessible through the Aura Console and Aura API.
Team Aura 🚀
The Neo4j Aura January release is now rolling out—starting with AuraDB Free and gradually extending to higher-tier instances.
This release focused on security patches and improvements in Cypher.
🛡️ Security fixes
We have patched the following libraries to resolve vulnerabilities:
  • LZ4
    : Updated to
    v1.10.1
    (Resolves CVE-2025-66566).
  • Jersey
    : Updated to
    v2.46
    (Resolves CVE-2025-12383).
🐞 Cypher Bug fixes
  • Improved Memory Tracking
    : Fixed an issue where
    DISTINCT
    operations could underestimate heap usage. This ensures that queries exceeding memory pool limits return a recoverable error rather than triggering a JVM
    OutOfMemoryError
    .
  • Parallel Runtime Optimization
    : Resolved a bug where failed queries in the parallel runtime held onto heap memory longer than necessary.
  • Subquery Fix
    : Fixed a "slot configuration" error when using subquery expressions in
    allReduce()
    initializers.
  • Entity Mapping
    : Fixed a bug where entities returned inside a map or list were incorrectly evaluated due to a missing eager operator.
For full details of all updates and fixes in this release, please visit: Release Notes: Neo4j Aura Database – January 2026.
Neo4j Aura DS Enterprise now supports IP Filtering, enabling you to define which IP address ranges can access your Graph Data Science deployment. This feature compliments the existing AuraDB IP Filtering and provides strong, lightweight network access control without requiring private endpoint setup. Users with Organization Admin privileges can manage filters via the Aura Console UI or Admin API, with support for up to 100 IP ranges.
Network security filters can be applied across a project or individual to each Aura instance for consistent access policies.
IP Filtering is ideal for securing public or hybrid deployments, limiting access to trusted networks, enforcing compliance boundaries, and streamlining development environments.
Available now for Aura DS Enterprise in addition to Aura Graph Analytics when used with AuraDB Business Critical & Virtual Dedicated Cloud tiers. See our IP Filtering documentation for more details.

Now available - Neo4j Fleet Manager via API and CLI

Support for Neo4j Fleet Manager in the Aura API and CLI is now available, which enables easier DevOps integration with Neo4j Fleet Manager for our self-managed customers.
