Announcing Neo4j on Windows Azure

Neo4j has successfully deployed its graph database server on Windows Azure, providing a powerful tool for .NET developers to leverage the benefits of a graph database in their applications. The deployment was made possible by Microsoft's promise to make Java a valued "first-class citizen" on Windows Azure, and it demonstrates that complex server products can be easily hosted on the platform. With its REST API over HTTP, Neo4j can be easily integrated with regular .NET applications, both inside and outside of the cloud. The deployment was made possible by extracting configuration settings from the code and putting them in separate files, making it easy to upgrade the version of Neo4j simply by replacing the zip-file in blob storage. The solution involves a hosting project that takes care of downloading, installing, and configuring Neo4j, and it is fully functional with dynamic port allocation and automatic storage backups. The deployment allows for easy communication with Neo4j using its REST API over HTTP, making it accessible to .NET developers. The team behind the project hopes to make the Visual Studio Solution more turn-key in future versions, allowing users to easily deploy and run Neo4j without manual steps.
