Toolbelt Trifecta: Connecting to Neo4j with Java and AWS Lambda

Java, AWS Lambda, Neo4j – one or more of these technologies might be familiar to us, but how do we use them together? In this session, we will take a look at each of these technologies by themselves, and then assemble some code to combine them. We will start with the available example code, and then see how to improve and update that code with the latest and greatest features and efficiencies offered. Through live coding, we will work through the challenges, find answers to questions, and piece together the code. As a result, we will have a working solution for a cloud function in Java that runs a query in Neo4j and returns the results. Join us to combine these technologies for a powerful trifecta!
