Building Neo4j Sandbox cloud trial env: AWS ECS + Lambda + Docker + Au­­­th0 ++

The Neo4j Sandbox (https://neo4j.com/sandbox-v2/?utm_source=meetup) is a cloud-based trial environment for the Neo4j Graph Database (https://neo4j.com/). It enables devs to quickly get started querying data with Neo4j, with built-in datasets and guides for popular usecases.

You can create your own sandbox instance (https://neo4j.com/sandbox-v2?utm_source=meetup) before the meetup and play around with the built in Twitter, TrumpWorld, or retail recommendations datasets.

Building the Neo4j Sandbox v2: AWS, ECS, Docker, Python, Neo4j, FullContact, Auth0, ++

The Neo4j Sandbox is an environment where anyone can get their own instance of Neo4j up and running in seconds, with tutorials and datasets related to their usecase.

Since Ryan wanted people to have the freedom to interact with Neo4j with full privileges, he decided to use Docker to provide container-level isolation for the Sandbox.

This session will talk about some of the design decisions made and how the architecture was achieved using Docker, EC2 Container Service, Auth0, EC2, Elastic Load Balancers, EC2 AutoScaling Group, AWS Lambda functions, Python, S3, IAM, CloudWatch, SES, FullContact, MaxMind and more.

Ryan will also discuss future features and get feedback from users during Q&A.

We'll be using the #neo4j-online-meetup (https://neo4j-users.slack.com/archives/neo4j-online-meetup) Slack channel for any questions. You can join our neo4j-users Slack Group by following this link: http://neo4j.com/slack
