Adding gRPC to Neo4j

Adding gRPC to Neo4j

You are probably sick of me saying it, but one of the things I love about Neo4j is that you can customize it any way you want. Extensions, stored procedures, plugins, custom indexes, custom apis, etc. If you want to do it, then you can do it with Neo4j.

So, the other day, I was like, what about this gRPC thing? Many companies standardize their backend using RESTful APIs, others are trying out GraphQL, and some are using gRPC. Neo4j doesn’t support gRPC out-of-the-box, partially because we have our own custom binary protocol “Bolt,” but we can add a rudimentary version of gRPC support quite easily.
