A Data Management Layer for Neo4j
summary
Company moves from one Neo4j project to many by building a data management layer called Anansi that enforces type-safe entities and identifiers, records schema changes and a full audit trail, and exposes both visual data lineage graphs and searchable tabular views. Backend is .NET Core with SDKs, frontend in Next.js + .NET Core (React), all data stored in Neo4j; the layer also defines type-safe relationships, assigns owners and permissions, and lets non‑Neo4j users view, edit, and query successfully.
