Graph database swashbuckler Neo4j has joined a throng of NoSQL vendors in selling its technology core as a fully managed cloud database.

Early adopters include Levi Strauss & Co, social media marketing firm Adeo and credit reference agency Dun & Bradstreet, which spoke to The Register earlier last year to describe how it uses the graph database to untangle complex networks of company ownership.
