By default Neo4j is set to use the following RAM:
| CAST Imaging ≥ 2.5.0 | 8GB of RAM memory (initial and maximum) |
|---|---|
| CAST Imaging ≤ 2.4.x | 3GB of RAM memory (initial and maximum) |
If you are facing performance issues, it is possible to modify the allocated memory. See also https://neo4j.com/docs/operations-manual/current/performance/memory-configuration/#_considerations for more information.
How do performance issues manifest themselves?
In general, a sure sign that you need to modify the RAM allocated to Neo4j is when objects fail to load in CAST Imaging - particularly if there are a large number of objects to display - this is because the query used to fetch the objects for display is not completing before a timeout occurs. This timeout will manifest itself as a 504 (gateway timeout) error in the browser. Allocating additional RAM to Neo4j can help reduce the time required to complete the query.
