Neo4j Aura Database December Release Update!

The Neo4j Aura December release is now rolling out—starting with AuraDB Free and gradually extending to higher-tier instances.
🤖 GenAI Plug-in
We have expanded our GenAI capabilities with native functions and procedures for major providers (e.g. OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Google VertexAI, and Amazon Bedrock):
  • Vector Embeddings
    : Use the new
    ai.text.embed
    function and
    ai.text.embedBatch
    procedure to generate Neo4j vector types directly from your data.
  • Text Completion
    : Generate text from prompts using the new
    ai.text.completion
    function.
  • Provider Management
    : Easily list allowed providers and configuration requirements with
    ai.text.embed.providers
    and
    ai.text.completion.providers
    .
🚀 New Cypher Features and Performance Improvements
  • Collection Functions
    : We have expanded the Cypher 25 capabilities with a suite of new collection-based functions, including
    coll.distinct
    ,
    coll.flatten
    ,
    coll.sort
    ,
    coll.insert
    , and more to give you finer control over your data structures.
  • Faster Dynamic Labels
    :
    MATCH
    and
    MERGE
    queries utilizing dynamic labels (e.g.,
    MATCH (p:$("Person"))
    ) now leverage property indexes, resulting in significantly faster performance.
  • Optimized Merge Operations
    : We’ve introduced two new planner operators:
    MergeUniqueNode
    to speed up merge queries with uniqueness constraints, and
    MergeInto
    to improve performance on pattern creation queries.
🐞 Security and Bug Fixes
  • Security
    : Resolved CVE-2025-12738 to tighten permission on property setting on and CVE-2025-11602 on Bolt protocol.
  • Fixed bugs related creation of full-text indexes, corrected error code 42N68 to 42I58 and fixed
    ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException
    when using Label, Type, or property names longer than 2000 characters.

Now Available: Default Cypher Version Setting for Organizations

Since the release of Cypher 25 in June 2025, Cypher 5 has entered long-term support. All new features are now released exclusively on Cypher 25 each month.
While Cypher 5 remains the default version on Aura, and you can still use
ALTER DATABASE
commands to set the default Cypher version of an individual instance, we have been working to make it easier for you to use the exciting new capabilities of Cypher 25 on Aura.
Starting today, Organization Owners and Admins can set
Cypher 25
as the default version for
all new instances
in their Organization directly from the Aura Console.
To do this, navigate to:
Organization Settings > General Settings.
ScreenRecording2025-12-11at11
Existing instances will keep their Cypher version, and you need to use
ALTER DATABASE
commands to change their Cypher version.
This update allows you to get the most out of Neo4j Aura by easily taking advantage of the new Cypher functions and procedures available in Cypher 25. You can also switch back to Cypher 5 whenever you choose.
Check out our documentation - Organization Settings and Managing Cypher version of an Instance for more information!

Aura Graph Analytics

Introducing Native Vector Type in Neo4j Aura

We’ve added a first-class Vector data type to Neo4j for storing embedding vectors directly as typed, fixed-length vectors instead of generic lists.
What it is
A new VECTOR<dtype>(length) property type that’s fully supported across drivers v6+, Cypher 25, storage, constraints, and Aura/Neo4j 2025.10.
It gives you a clean, explicit way to work with embeddings in application code and Cypher.
image
Benefits of Native Vector Type in Aura
  • Simpler code 
    — First‑class vectors in the drivers mean fewer helpers and fewer mistakes.
  • Integrity by default 
    — Property‑type constraints enforce shape and dtype and protect your indexes.
  • Future‑ready
     — Unlocks vector‑specific functions, indexes, and storage optimizations over time.
Native types are supported end to end: Neo4j drivers → Bolt protocol → Cypher → Storage engine → Constraints.
Read our launch blog for a deep dive and code examples.

Adjustable Storage now available for AuraDB on Azure!

We’re excited to announce that Adjustable Storage is now available for AuraDB Professional, Business Critical and Virtual Dedicated Cloud tier customers deploying on MSFT Azure cloud.
This feature, previously released for AWS & GCP, allows customers on Azure to independently scale storage and RAM for their AuraDB instances. You can now adjust your storage capacity without the need to increase your instance size - helping you avoid unnecessary costs.
This capability is available for new deployments and resizes running the latest Neo4j version and can be configured via both the API and Console.
Screenshot 2025-11-04 at 12
What’s New
With Adjustable Storage, you can now scale storage and RAM independently—giving you greater flexibility to increase storage capacity without upgrading instance size, while also reducing compute costs.
Benefits of Adjustable Storage:
  • Greater Flexibility: Scale resources to suit your needs
  • Cost Efficiency: Avoid additional compute expense when only extra storage is required
  • Improved Experience: Eliminate manual processes and custom workaround support requests

Neo4j Aura Database October Release Update

The Neo4j Aura October release is now rolling out—starting with AuraDB Free and gradually extending to higher-tier instances.
🚀 New Cypher Features
  • VECTOR
    Type Support
    : We've introduced
    VECTOR
    as a new supported type in Cypher, Block store format and v6 drivers.
  • Construct Temporals from Strings
    : You can now construct temporal values (like dates and times) from formatted strings, with the option to provide patterns for the conversion. This complements the feature to format temporal values into strings in last month's release.
🛠️ Improvements
  • Better Error Highlighting
    : To help you debug faster, Cypher errors in JSON query logs and cypher-shell will now
    display the query string along with a position marker
    pointing to where the error occurred.
🐞 Bug Fixes
  • Cypher
    : We now allow using
    null
    as a default value for non-primitive procedure parameters, and fixed a bug where values in the options maps for
    CREATE INDEX
    and
    CREATE CONSTRAINTS
    could be transposed.
  • Server
    : A rare issue was fixed where malformed tokens (like empty strings) could bypass validation and cause a database panic, and a stack overflow error is now prevented when sorting free IDs for big value store.
