About clustered neo4j setup in community edition - is it possible?

Hi there!
I’m exploring Neo4j for a project and am particularly interested in setting up a clustered environment to ensure high availability.

From what I understand, clustering and causal clustering features are only available in the Neo4j Enterprise Edition. The Community Edition is free but doesn’t officially support clustering.

  • Is there any way to enable or simulate clustering functionality within the Neo4j Community Edition?
  • Are there any workarounds, third-party tools, or alternative approaches to achieve high availability with the Community Edition?
  • What are the best practices or recommendations for projects that require clustering

Clustering is only available in Enterprise editions of Neo4j database. If you really need high availability, it would in my opinion not be prudent to use workarounds or other fragile approaches to try to simulate high availability - its antithetical in its very nature. If you need HA, you need reliability that has been tested and is backed by support - hence the need for an enterprise class solution.
