## Hidden costs and limits

- Memory sizing is critical: Neo4j performance depends on keeping the working graph in RAM. Undersized instances cause dramatic performance degradation, pushing you to larger (more expensive) instances
- Data import and ETL costs are real: migrating from a relational database to a graph model requires significant data engineering effort (weeks to months depending on complexity)
- Cypher query language has a learning curve, existing SQL developers need training time. GQL (ISO standard) support is coming but not yet widespread
- Self-managed Neo4j Enterprise requires a commercial license, Community Edition is free but lacks clustering, role-based access, and hot backups
- AuraDB backup retention is limited: 7 days on Professional, 30 days on Business Critical. Longer retention requires manual export
- No serverless option, you pay for provisioned capacity even during low-usage periods
