Hi!
I have deployed a webbapplication with an embedded neo4j instance in
heroku and it works nicely, exept that the database is stored in the
tmp directory... :)
I realize that one way forward is to use the REST api and to use the
neo4j REST add-on to heroku, but I really would prefere to continue
use the embedded database instead.
Is it possible to use the embedded neo4j in any way in heroku? How?
and/or
Does anyone use embedded neo4j on any other "cloud service"?
Wich one?

Heroku isn't intended to be used in this way, which is why you can only write to a tmp directory. You should take a look at deploying to Engine Yard, which I think gives you file-system access.
Can I ask why you'd prefer to not use REST, and what language/stack you're developing with?
Thanks,
Andreas

Hi Andreas!
I'm using the neo4j inside a web application based on the
playframework 2.0 (mixed scala and java)
Currently I'm prototyping and don't care much about fault tolerance or
a good architecture, I just want my feedback cycle to be short and to
have a flow while I develop.
The embedded api is (for me at least) so much easier to use and so
much less verbose.
I am also not convinced that my application ever is going to need to
separate the database server from the webapplication, so the REST
layer is just adding complexity.

Hans,
openshift supports a local data directory, where you can store your data.
See this blog post: http://tomasmuller.com.br/2012/03/29/10-steps-to-run-neo4j-at-redhat-openshift-cloud

Tank you, it works great!

I have an playframework 2.0 application with an embedded neo4j database.
I got it play running by following theses instructions:
And changed the directory where neo4j files is stored by following these:

Hans,
would you be so kind as to write it up with a blog post?
Thanks a lot
Michael
