Neo4j was a terrible experience as a developer. It crashed constantly, local dev required me to finagle around with Java SDK versions and packages. I'm not gonna mess about with that. Their managed offering was equally as shitty, and their own Go SDK was so poor that I ended up scrapping it all together.

We landed on running RedisGraph atop Redis, and got it up and running in 45 minutes. Zero downtime. Zero complaints. Awesome.

I am curious: was your company using the free version or the commercial product?

I have enjoyed using the free version of Neo4J on my laptop but never at scale.

Judging by what they said: "Their managed offering [1] was equally as shitty ..." the gp was referring to the commercial product.
