using neo4j on appharbor

Curious about using app harbor for my web api backed by a neo4j database. If I host an instance of neo4j on an amazon ec2 instance, how can I secure a connection between that ec2 instance and my app harbor worker? can I set the geographical region on an app harbor application to minimize latency on the network between the db and the app?

Is there a recommended or hosted instance of neo4j that I should be using with app harbor apps? I know that heroku will have a hosted neo4j solution soon, would there be any issues if my app harbor app were to use the heroku hosted neo4j service?

You could conceivably create an app on Heroku and provision the Neo4j add-on there, then copy-paste the connectionstring and consume the neo4j instance from your AppHarbor app.

Alternatively, you can run Neo4J yourself, and open up to AppHarbor application servers. The instructions are here: http://support.appharbor.com/kb/tips-and-tricks/application-server-ips-ec2-configuration
