Introduction

The Flex Template allows to import data from a BigQuery dataset into a Neo4j database, through a Dataflow job. It also allows to manipulate and transform the data at various steps of the import. You can use the template for both first-time and incremental imports.

This guide walks you through how to import an example BigQuery dataset into a Neo4j database using a Dataflow job. It also provides a public dataset you can experiment with, before you go on and create an import job for you own dataset.

To import data from CSV files, checkout the Dataflow Flex Template for Google Cloud to Neo4j.
