How to Launch Neo4j Fleet Manager and Maximize Its Value
Blog post from Neo4j
Neo4j's newly launched Fleet Manager is a centralized control plane designed to manage Neo4j databases across various environments, including cloud, on-premises, and hybrid setups. It provides comprehensive visibility over database instances, unified policy enforcement, and automated workflows for tasks such as provisioning, upgrades, and migrations. Fleet Manager supports multiple Neo4j editions, allowing for seamless integration and monitoring through the Aura console, where users can view database topology, performance metrics, and receive security advisories. The tool is beneficial for different organizational roles, offering database architects and engineers centralized management and developers access to built-in tools without administrative permissions. Fleet Manager encourages users to convert connections into fully monitored deployments to avoid configuration drift and improve response to outages. It includes features like database registration, topology views, and performance metrics, regardless of whether users are on the Enterprise or Community Edition. The service is accessible via a free Aura account, emphasizing collaboration with users to refine and enhance the platform's capabilities.
