Guys, First of all, good move on bringing the knowledge database from slack to here! :slight_smile: I would like to know the following: how would you recommend implementing multi tenancy on Neo4j? Would you connect all nodes of a tenant with a :Tenant node or would you mark all the nodes with an …

The most popular option does seem to be to apply a certain label to all nodes within a sub-graph. In this way, the app layer (by applying that label to all queries) may restrict what data can possibly come back to be just items from a particular tenant. Some folks differ though in how they define …

Hi David, Could you please provide further insight into the multi-graph storage you mention in your final paragraph? What's on the roadmap? I am looking at a slighty different but related issue. We instantiate an abstract model of an organisation as a graph. We currently don't have any restriction…

I'm sorry -- can't give you many details about the multi-graph storage. I'll see if I can ask one of our PMs to follow up on this thread and maybe there's more they can say about timeline and features there. On the topic of sub-graph access restrictions, this is currently possible. There's a sect…

@david_allen and Neo4j staff any updates on best practices for multi-tenancy? Since v3.4+ the newer multi-clustering features seem to have introduced better multi-tenancy solutions for many use cases. I'm very curious about methods/integrations that could enable programatic management of tenants wi…

This subject is of particular interest to my company as well. I have been in direct contact with @dan.flavin , Sr Systems Engineer at Neo4j, and he directed me towards this strategy: Bob, I heard back about modifying each of the queries from the dev team. There’s been a service provider interface a…

Today I think @david_allen 's suggestion is a reasonable pattern: tenant by label. In Neo4j 4.0 multi-tenancy and multi-database are promised. If you do the label-based separation today, it's an easy move to multi-tenant in the DB infrastructure in the future. Jim

2H 2019 to the best of my knowledge.

As 4.0 isn't out yet I have started down the path of tenant by label for multi-tenancy. I am finding labels frustrating to work with when trying to use them with Spring Data for Neo4j. There doesn't appear to be a straightforward way to add a label as part of a query except for maybe building the qu…

Yes. See my post here... [image] Multi-Tenancy on Neo4j Neo4j Graph Platform We use spring-data-neo4j and ogm, and have been using this extension successfully for several months to implement multi-tenancy on a single server instance: GitHub - meistermeier/neo4j-ogm-label…

Proper way to implement multi-tenancy on Neo4j

I tend to agree. Doing so in a comprehensive and reliable way is my challenge.

Do you have a tentative release schedule for 4.0?
