Hi,

There isn't a straight forward answer to the question except for "it depends".

Could you describe your dataset? The size, eg amount of nodes, relationships, if you already have it running locally database size.
And the workload is ofcoures a factor in sizing. If you're quering a lot you might need some more cpu power.

There is ofcourse the hardware calculator: https://neo4j.com/hardware-sizing/

And there is ofcourse also Neo4j Aura. This is fully managed and redundant.

Neo4j DB size 14.5GB
Node: 1148715
Relationship: 6133991

The version we are stilling using is version 2.2.2

The reason i asked this specific question was , our Infra Team Suggested that the compute instance gave better performance , than a General Purpose instance and was wondering , whether different type of instance have any performance impact on neo4j
