Neo4j - Community matters. You matter.
- mark_l_watson 15y agoNone of my business, but I am very curious about Neo4j's business model, customers, revenue, etc. Neo4J was handing out single free 1 server licenses earlier this year to startups and I was very pleased to get one: unlimited use on a single server is likely to meet all of my needs for the for-seeable future. The new GPL licensing for the community edition also makes it possible to write a GPLed service that the rest of your application depends on. Their full stack (federation using multiple servers, etc.) is AGPLed and has a commercial license. It seems like a fine line to walk for a company like Neo4j: they want to make it inexpensive enough (or free) for many developers to use their products but, they also need to make money to keep the lights on.
