GrapheneDB is the first cloud hosting provider to offer Neo4j graph databases as a service. We proudly manage thousands of Neo4j database instances, catering individual developers working on pet projects to large companies with challenging workloads and reliability requirements.

Our small team is fully distributed. We are spread out all over Spain: Gran Canaria, Granada, Madrid, and Málaga. We also have an office in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, where we meet for an all-hands on-site on a quarterly basis.

We value pragmatism, accountability, early feedback and helping others. We write and support our own production code. This means that DevOps is a real thing for us. In short: we are team players.

As for our architecture and technology, Fran and Nando, two of our current team members, gave a presentation on our backend and infrastructure stack last year at the Madrid Scala Meetup. Have a look!.
