Neo4j unveils unified control plane for graph databases

Neo4j launches Fleet Manager to unify graph database governance. The platform gives CIOs and CDOs centralized oversight across cloud, hybrid, and on-premises deployments, simplifying administration and compliance as graph adoption accelerates in AI and data-driven enterprises.


Neo4j has launched Fleet Manager, a new control plane that allows IT leaders to manage and monitor all Neo4j databases across environments — including cloud, hybrid, and on-premises systems — from a single console.

The general availability of the platform marks the first time enterprises can gain unified governance and observability across every Neo4j deployment, spanning AuraDB, Enterprise Edition, Desktop, and Community Edition.

The release follows a period of accelerating graph adoption, driven by the rise of generative AI and agentic applications. Neo4j’s knowledge graphs underpin many production AI systems, offering the structured context required for transparency and reasoning. Yet as companies expand across multiple infrastructure layers, governance and visibility have become increasingly fragmented.

“Fleet Manager gives enterprises the visibility and control required to manage graph data wherever it runs,” said Sudhir Hasbe, President and Chief Product Officer at Neo4j. “Data is increasingly distributed, but it still needs to be governed as one system of record.”

The platform integrates with Neo4j Infinigraph, the company’s distributed architecture launched last month, which scales workloads beyond 100TB across multiple environments. Users can tag deployments by team or project, enforce policy centrally, and view performance telemetry in real time.

For enterprises using Neo4j’s free Community Edition for experimentation, Fleet Manager extends oversight to include unmanaged clusters, reducing governance gaps and enabling consistent compliance across departments.

Sachet Patil, CTO of WhatifMedia Group, said the company’s early pilot had already demonstrated “immediate value from having a single, centralized view” of both self-managed and cloud-based clusters. “This visibility into performance metrics allows us to right-size our infrastructure and manage costs effectively,” he added.

Analysts note that the rise of hybrid infrastructure has complicated database management. Forrester’s Charles Betz described graph databases as “the skeleton to the LLM’s flesh,” while Gartner’s *Magic Quadrant for Distributed Hybrid Infrastructure* highlights multi-location flexibility as a “mandatory feature” for enterprise-grade systems.

Fleet Manager, available through Neo4j’s Aura Console, is offered at no cost to all Neo4j users, including Community Edition customers. The company says the tool provides operational consistency and simplified upgrades while reducing downtime and manual setup errors.

Neo4j’s platform is already used by 84 of the Fortune 100, underscoring the growing role of graph databases in enterprise data strategies — particularly as AI workloads demand explainable, integrated data foundations.
