+# Gitea Actions Setup
+
+This directory contains workflows for Gitea Actions, which is a self-hosted CI/CD system compatible with GitHub Actions syntax.
+
+## Workflow: go.yml
+
+The `go.yml` workflow handles building, testing, and releasing the ORLY relay when version tags are pushed.
+
+### Features
+
+- **No external dependencies**: Uses only inline shell commands (no actions from GitHub)
+- **Pure Go builds**: Uses CGO_ENABLED=0 with purego for secp256k1
+- **Automated releases**: Creates Gitea releases with binaries and checksums
+- **Tests included**: Runs the full test suite before building releases
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+1. **Gitea Token**: Add a secret named `GITEA_TOKEN` in your repository settings
+   - Go to: Repository Settings → Secrets → Add Secret
+   - Name: `GITEA_TOKEN`
+   - Value: Your Gitea personal access token with `repo` and `write:packages` permissions
+
+2. **Runner Configuration**: Ensure your Gitea Actions runner is properly configured
+   - The runner should have access to pull Docker images
+   - Ubuntu-latest image should be available
+
+### Usage
+
+To create a new release:
+
+```bash
+# 1. Update version in pkg/version/version file
+echo "v0.29.4" > pkg/version/version
+
+# 2. Commit the version change
+git add pkg/version/version
+git commit -m "bump to v0.29.4"
+
+# 3. Create and push the tag
+git tag v0.29.4
+git push origin v0.29.4
+
+# 4. The workflow will automatically:
+#    - Build the binary
+#    - Run tests
+#    - Create a release on your Gitea instance
+#    - Upload the binary and checksums
+```
+
+### Environment Variables
+
+The workflow uses standard Gitea Actions environment variables:
+
+- `GITHUB_WORKSPACE`: Working directory for the job
+- `GITHUB_REF_NAME`: Tag name (e.g., v1.2.3)
+- `GITHUB_REPOSITORY`: Repository in format `owner/repo`
+- `GITHUB_SERVER_URL`: Your Gitea instance URL (e.g., https://git.nostrdev.com)
+
+### Troubleshooting
+
+**Issue**: Workflow fails to clone repository
+- **Solution**: Check that the repository is accessible without authentication, or configure runner credentials
+
+**Issue**: Cannot create release
+- **Solution**: Verify `GITEA_TOKEN` secret is set correctly with appropriate permissions
+
+**Issue**: Go version not found
+- **Solution**: The workflow downloads Go 1.25.0 directly from go.dev, ensure the runner has internet access
+
+### Customization
+
+To modify the workflow:
+
+1. Edit `.gitea/workflows/go.yml`
+2. Test changes by pushing a tag (or use `act` locally for testing)
+3. Monitor the Actions tab in your Gitea repository for results
+
+## Differences from GitHub Actions
+
+- **Action dependencies**: This workflow doesn't use external actions (like `actions/checkout@v4`) to avoid GitHub dependency
+- **Release creation**: Uses `tea` CLI instead of GitHub's release action
+- **Inline commands**: All setup and build steps are done with shell scripts
+
+This makes the workflow completely self-contained and independent of external services.

+
+ORLY has received several significant performance improvements in recent updates:
+
+### Query Cache System (Latest)

+- Filter normalization ensures cache hits regardless of filter field ordering
+- Configurable size (`ORLY_QUERY_CACHE_SIZE_MB`) and TTL (`ORLY_QUERY_CACHE_MAX_AGE`)
+- Dramatically reduces database load for repeated queries (common in Nostr clients)
+- Cache key includes normalized filter representation for optimal hit rate
+
+### Badger Cache Tuning
+- Optimized block cache (default 512MB, tune via `ORLY_DB_BLOCK_CACHE_MB`)
+- Optimized index cache (default 256MB, tune via `ORLY_DB_INDEX_CACHE_MB`)
+- Resulted in 10-15% improvement in most benchmark scenarios
+- See git history for cache tuning evolution
+
+### Query Execution Improvements
+- Multiple specialized query builders for different filter patterns:
+  - `query-for-kinds.go` - Kind-based queries
+  - `query-for-authors.go` - Author-based queries
+  - `query-for-tags.go` - Tag-based queries
+  - Combination builders for `kinds+authors`, `kinds+tags`, `kinds+authors+tags`
+- Batch operations for ID lookups via `GetSerialsByIds`
+- Serial-based event fetching for efficiency
+- Filter analysis in `get-indexes-from-filter.go` selects optimal strategy
+
 ## Release Process
 
 1. Update version in `pkg/version/version` file (e.g., v1.2.3)

+# Benchmark CPU Usage Optimization
+
+This document describes the CPU optimization settings for the ORLY benchmark suite, specifically tuned for systems with limited CPU resources (6-core/12-thread and lower).
+
+## Problem Statement
+
+The original benchmark implementation was designed for maximum throughput testing, which caused:
+- **CPU saturation**: 95-100% sustained CPU usage across all cores
+- **System instability**: Other services unable to run alongside benchmarks
+- **Thermal throttling**: Long benchmark runs causing CPU frequency reduction
+- **Unrealistic load**: Tight loops not representative of real-world relay usage
+
+## Solution: Aggressive Rate Limiting
+
+The benchmark now implements multi-layered CPU usage controls:
+
+### 1. Reduced Worker Concurrency
+
+**Default Worker Count**: `NumCPU() / 4` (minimum 2)
+
+For a 6-core/12-thread system:
+- Previous: 12 workers
+- **Current: 3 workers**
+
+This 4x reduction dramatically lowers:
+- Goroutine context switching overhead
+- Lock contention on shared resources
+- CPU cache thrashing
+
+### 2. Per-Operation Delays
+
+All benchmark operations now include mandatory delays to prevent CPU saturation:
+
+| Operation Type | Delay | Rationale |
+|---------------|-------|-----------|
+| Event writes | 500µs | Simulates network latency and client pacing |
+| Queries | 1ms | Queries are CPU-intensive, need more spacing |
+| Concurrent writes | 500µs | Balanced for mixed workloads |
+| Burst writes | 500µs | Prevents CPU spikes during bursts |
+
+### 3. Implementation Locations
+
+#### Main Benchmark (Badger backend)
+
+**Peak Throughput Test** ([main.go:471-473](main.go#L471-L473)):
+```go
+const eventDelay = 500 * time.Microsecond
+time.Sleep(eventDelay) // After each event save
+```
+
+**Burst Pattern Test** ([main.go:599-600](main.go#L599-L600)):
+```go
+const eventDelay = 500 * time.Microsecond
+time.Sleep(eventDelay) // In worker loop
+```
+
+**Query Test** ([main.go:899](main.go#L899)):
+```go
+time.Sleep(1 * time.Millisecond) // After each query
+```
+
+**Concurrent Query/Store** ([main.go:900, 1068](main.go#L900)):
+```go
+time.Sleep(1 * time.Millisecond)  // Readers
+time.Sleep(500 * time.Microsecond) // Writers
+```
+
+#### BenchmarkAdapter (DGraph/Neo4j backends)
+
+**Peak Throughput** ([benchmark_adapter.go:58](benchmark_adapter.go#L58)):
+```go
+const eventDelay = 500 * time.Microsecond
+```
+
+**Burst Pattern** ([benchmark_adapter.go:142](benchmark_adapter.go#L142)):
+```go
+const eventDelay = 500 * time.Microsecond
+```
+
+## Expected CPU Usage
+
+### Before Optimization
+- **Workers**: 12 (on 12-thread system)
+- **Delays**: None or minimal
+- **CPU Usage**: 95-100% sustained
+- **System Impact**: Severe - other processes starved
+
+### After Optimization
+- **Workers**: 3 (on 12-thread system)
+- **Delays**: 500µs-1ms per operation
+- **Expected CPU Usage**: 40-60% average, 70% peak
+- **System Impact**: Minimal - plenty of headroom for other processes
+
+## Performance Impact
+
+### Throughput Reduction
+The aggressive rate limiting will reduce benchmark throughput:
+
+**Before** (unrealistic, CPU-bound):
+- ~50,000 events/second with 12 workers
+
+**After** (realistic, rate-limited):
+- ~5,000-10,000 events/second with 3 workers
+- More representative of real-world relay load
+- Network latency and client pacing simulated
+
+### Latency Accuracy
+**Improved**: With lower CPU contention, latency measurements are more accurate:
+- Less queueing delay in database operations
+- More consistent response times
+- Better P95/P99 metric reliability
+
+## Tuning Guide
+
+If you need to adjust CPU usage further:
+
+### Further Reduce CPU (< 40%)
+
+1. **Reduce workers**:
+   ```bash
+   ./benchmark --workers 2  # Half of default
+   ```
+
+2. **Increase delays** in code:
+   ```go
+   // Change from 500µs to 1ms for writes
+   const eventDelay = 1 * time.Millisecond
+
+   // Change from 1ms to 2ms for queries
+   time.Sleep(2 * time.Millisecond)
+   ```
+
+3. **Reduce event count**:
+   ```bash
+   ./benchmark --events 5000  # Shorter test runs
+   ```
+
+### Increase CPU (for faster testing)
+
+1. **Increase workers**:
+   ```bash
+   ./benchmark --workers 6  # More concurrency
+   ```
+
+2. **Decrease delays** in code:
+   ```go
+   // Change from 500µs to 100µs
+   const eventDelay = 100 * time.Microsecond
+
+   // Change from 1ms to 500µs
+   time.Sleep(500 * time.Microsecond)
+   ```
+
+## Monitoring CPU Usage
+
+### Real-time Monitoring
+
+```bash
+# Terminal 1: Run benchmark
+cd cmd/benchmark
+./benchmark --workers 3 --events 10000
+
+# Terminal 2: Monitor CPU
+watch -n 1 'ps aux | grep benchmark | grep -v grep | awk "{print \$3\" %CPU\"}"'
+```
+
+### With htop (recommended)
+
+```bash
+# Install htop if needed
+sudo apt install htop
+
+# Run htop and filter for benchmark process
+htop -p $(pgrep -f benchmark)
+```
+
+### System-wide CPU Usage
+
+```bash
+# Check overall system load
+mpstat 1
+
+# Or with sar
+sar -u 1
+```
+
+## Docker Compose Considerations
+
+When running the full benchmark suite in Docker Compose:
+
+### Resource Limits
+
+The compose file should limit CPU allocation:
+
+```yaml
+services:
+  benchmark-runner:
+    deploy:
+      resources:
+        limits:
+          cpus: '4'  # Limit to 4 CPU cores
+```
+
+### Sequential vs Parallel
+
+Current implementation runs benchmarks **sequentially** to avoid overwhelming the system.
+Each relay is tested one at a time, ensuring:
+- Consistent baseline for comparisons
+- No CPU competition between tests
+- Reliable latency measurements
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Always monitor CPU during first run** to verify settings work for your system
+2. **Close other applications** during benchmarking for consistent results
+3. **Use consistent worker counts** across test runs for fair comparisons
+4. **Document your settings** if you modify delay constants
+5. **Test with small event counts first** (--events 1000) to verify CPU usage
+
+## Realistic Workload Simulation
+
+The delays aren't just for CPU management - they simulate real-world conditions:
+
+- **500µs write delay**: Typical network round-trip time for local clients
+- **1ms query delay**: Client thinking time between queries
+- **3 workers**: Simulates 3 concurrent users/clients
+- **Burst patterns**: Models social media posting patterns (busy hours vs quiet periods)
+
+This makes benchmark results more applicable to production relay deployment planning.
+
+## System Requirements
+
+### Minimum
+- 4 CPU cores (2 physical cores with hyperthreading)
+- 8GB RAM
+- SSD storage for database
+
+### Recommended
+- 6+ CPU cores
+- 16GB RAM
+- NVMe SSD
+
+### For Full Suite (Docker Compose)
+- 8+ CPU cores (allows multiple relays + benchmark runner)
+- 32GB RAM (Neo4j, DGraph are memory-hungry)
+- Fast SSD with 100GB+ free space
+
+## Conclusion
+
+These aggressive CPU optimizations ensure the benchmark suite:
+- ✅ Runs reliably on modest hardware
+- ✅ Doesn't interfere with other system processes
+- ✅ Produces realistic, production-relevant metrics
+- ✅ Completes without thermal throttling
+- ✅ Allows fair comparison across different relay implementations
+
+The trade-off is longer test duration, but the results are far more valuable for actual relay deployment planning.

+## Database Backend Comparison
+
+The benchmark suite includes **next.orly.dev** with three different database backends to compare architectural approaches:
+
+### Badger Backend (next-orly-badger)
+- **Type**: Embedded key-value store
+- **Architecture**: Single-process, no network overhead
+- **Best for**: Personal relays, single-instance deployments
+- **Characteristics**:
+  - Lower latency for single-instance operations
+  - No network round-trips
+  - Simpler deployment
+  - Limited to single-node scaling
+
+### DGraph Backend (next-orly-dgraph)
+- **Type**: Distributed graph database
+- **Architecture**: Client-server with dgraph-zero (coordinator) and dgraph-alpha (data node)
+- **Best for**: Distributed deployments, horizontal scaling
+- **Characteristics**:
+  - Network overhead from gRPC communication
+  - Supports multi-node clustering
+  - Built-in replication and sharding
+  - More complex deployment
+
+### Neo4j Backend (next-orly-neo4j)
+- **Type**: Native graph database
+- **Architecture**: Client-server with Neo4j Community Edition
+- **Best for**: Graph queries, relationship-heavy workloads, social network analysis
+- **Characteristics**:
+  - Optimized for relationship traversal (e.g., follow graphs, event references)
+  - Native Cypher query language for graph patterns
+  - ACID transactions with graph-native storage
+  - Network overhead from Bolt protocol
+  - Excellent for complex graph queries (finding common connections, recommendation systems)
+  - Higher memory usage for graph indexes
+  - Ideal for analytics and social graph exploration
+
+### Comparing the Backends
+
+The benchmark results will show:
+- **Latency differences**: Embedded vs. distributed overhead, graph traversal efficiency
+- **Throughput trade-offs**: Single-process optimization vs. distributed scalability vs. graph query optimization
+- **Resource usage**: Memory and CPU patterns for different architectures
+- **Query performance**: Graph queries (Neo4j) vs. key-value lookups (Badger) vs. distributed queries (DGraph)
+
+This comparison helps determine which backend is appropriate for different deployment scenarios and workload patterns.

+# Neo4j Database Backend for ORLY Relay
+
+## Overview
+
+The Neo4j database backend provides a graph-native storage solution for the ORLY Nostr relay. Unlike traditional key-value or document stores, Neo4j is optimized for relationship-heavy queries, making it an ideal fit for Nostr's social graph and event reference patterns.
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Core Components
+
+1. **Main Database File** ([pkg/neo4j/neo4j.go](../pkg/neo4j/neo4j.go))
+   - Implements the `database.Database` interface
+   - Manages Neo4j driver connection and lifecycle
+   - Uses Badger for metadata storage (markers, identity, subscriptions)
+   - Registers with the database factory via `init()`
+
+2. **Schema Management** ([pkg/neo4j/schema.go](../pkg/neo4j/schema.go))
+   - Defines Neo4j constraints and indexes using Cypher
+   - Creates unique constraints on Event IDs and Author pubkeys
+   - Indexes for optimal query performance (kind, created_at, tags)
+
+3. **Query Engine** ([pkg/neo4j/query-events.go](../pkg/neo4j/query-events.go))
+   - Translates Nostr REQ filters to Cypher queries
+   - Leverages graph traversal for tag relationships
+   - Supports prefix matching for IDs and pubkeys
+   - Parameterized queries for security and performance
+
+4. **Event Storage** ([pkg/neo4j/save-event.go](../pkg/neo4j/save-event.go))
+   - Stores events as nodes with properties
+   - Creates graph relationships:
+     - `AUTHORED_BY`: Event → Author
+     - `REFERENCES`: Event → Event (e-tags)
+     - `MENTIONS`: Event → Author (p-tags)
+     - `TAGGED_WITH`: Event → Tag
+
+## Graph Schema
+
+### Node Types
+
+**Event Node**
+```cypher
+(:Event {
+  id: string,           // Hex-encoded event ID (32 bytes)
+  serial: int,          // Sequential serial number
+  kind: int,            // Event kind
+  created_at: int,      // Unix timestamp
+  content: string,      // Event content
+  sig: string,          // Hex-encoded signature
+  pubkey: string,       // Hex-encoded author pubkey
+  tags: string          // JSON-encoded tags array
+})
+```
+
+**Author Node**
+```cypher
+(:Author {
+  pubkey: string        // Hex-encoded pubkey (unique)
+})
+```
+
+**Tag Node**
+```cypher
+(:Tag {
+  type: string,         // Tag type (e.g., "t", "d")
+  value: string         // Tag value
+})
+```
+
+**Marker Node** (for metadata)
+```cypher
+(:Marker {
+  key: string,          // Unique key
+  value: string         // Hex-encoded value
+})
+```
+
+### Relationships
+
+- `(:Event)-[:AUTHORED_BY]->(:Author)` - Event authorship
+- `(:Event)-[:REFERENCES]->(:Event)` - Event references (e-tags)
+- `(:Event)-[:MENTIONS]->(:Author)` - Author mentions (p-tags)
+- `(:Event)-[:TAGGED_WITH]->(:Tag)` - Generic tag associations
+
+## How Nostr REQ Messages Are Implemented
+
+### Filter to Cypher Translation
+
+The query engine in [query-events.go](../pkg/neo4j/query-events.go) translates Nostr filters to Cypher queries:
+
+#### 1. ID Filters
+```json
+{"ids": ["abc123..."]}
+```
+Becomes:
+```cypher
+MATCH (e:Event)
+WHERE e.id = $id_0
+```
+
+For prefix matching (partial IDs):
+```cypher
+WHERE e.id STARTS WITH $id_0
+```
+
+#### 2. Author Filters
+```json
+{"authors": ["pubkey1...", "pubkey2..."]}
+```
+Becomes:
+```cypher
+MATCH (e:Event)
+WHERE e.pubkey IN $authors
+```
+
+#### 3. Kind Filters
+```json
+{"kinds": [1, 7]}
+```
+Becomes:
+```cypher
+MATCH (e:Event)
+WHERE e.kind IN $kinds
+```
+
+#### 4. Time Range Filters
+```json
+{"since": 1234567890, "until": 1234567900}
+```
+Becomes:
+```cypher
+MATCH (e:Event)
+WHERE e.created_at >= $since AND e.created_at <= $until
+```
+
+#### 5. Tag Filters (Graph Advantage!)
+```json
+{"#t": ["bitcoin", "nostr"]}
+```
+Becomes:
+```cypher
+MATCH (e:Event)
+OPTIONAL MATCH (e)-[:TAGGED_WITH]->(t0:Tag)
+WHERE t0.type = $tagType_0 AND t0.value IN $tagValues_0
+```
+
+This leverages Neo4j's native graph traversal for efficient tag queries!
+
+#### 6. Combined Filters
+```json
+{
+  "kinds": [1],
+  "authors": ["abc..."],
+  "#p": ["xyz..."],
+  "limit": 50
+}
+```
+Becomes:
+```cypher
+MATCH (e:Event)
+OPTIONAL MATCH (e)-[:TAGGED_WITH]->(t0:Tag)
+WHERE e.kind IN $kinds
+  AND e.pubkey IN $authors
+  AND t0.type = $tagType_0
+  AND t0.value IN $tagValues_0
+RETURN e.id, e.kind, e.created_at, e.content, e.sig, e.pubkey, e.tags
+ORDER BY e.created_at DESC
+LIMIT $limit
+```
+
+### Query Execution Flow
+
+1. **Parse Filter**: Extract IDs, authors, kinds, times, tags
+2. **Build Cypher**: Construct parameterized query with MATCH/WHERE clauses
+3. **Execute**: Run via `ExecuteRead()` with read-only session
+4. **Parse Results**: Convert Neo4j records to Nostr events
+5. **Return**: Send events back to client
+
+## Configuration
+
+### Environment Variables
+
+```bash
+# Neo4j Connection
+ORLY_NEO4J_URI="bolt://localhost:7687"
+ORLY_NEO4J_USER="neo4j"
+ORLY_NEO4J_PASSWORD="password"
+
+# Database Type Selection
+ORLY_DB_TYPE="neo4j"
+
+# Data Directory (for Badger metadata storage)
+ORLY_DATA_DIR="~/.local/share/ORLY"
+```
+
+### Example Docker Compose Setup
+
+```yaml
+version: '3.8'
+services:
+  neo4j:
+    image: neo4j:5.15
+    ports:
+      - "7474:7474"  # HTTP
+      - "7687:7687"  # Bolt
+    environment:
+      - NEO4J_AUTH=neo4j/password
+      - NEO4J_PLUGINS=["apoc"]
+    volumes:
+      - neo4j_data:/data
+      - neo4j_logs:/logs
+
+  orly:
+    build: .
+    ports:
+      - "3334:3334"
+    environment:
+      - ORLY_DB_TYPE=neo4j
+      - ORLY_NEO4J_URI=bolt://neo4j:7687
+      - ORLY_NEO4J_USER=neo4j
+      - ORLY_NEO4J_PASSWORD=password
+    depends_on:
+      - neo4j
+
+volumes:
+  neo4j_data:
+  neo4j_logs:
+```
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+### Advantages Over Badger/DGraph
+
+1. **Native Graph Queries**: Tag relationships and social graph traversals are native operations
+2. **Optimized Indexes**: Automatic index usage for constrained properties
+3. **Efficient Joins**: Relationship traversals are O(1) lookups
+4. **Query Planner**: Neo4j's query planner optimizes complex multi-filter queries
+
+### Tuning Recommendations
+
+1. **Indexes**: The schema creates indexes for:
+   - Event ID (unique constraint + index)
+   - Event kind
+   - Event created_at
+   - Composite: kind + created_at
+   - Tag type + value
+
+2. **Cache Configuration**: Configure Neo4j's page cache and heap size:
+```conf
+# neo4j.conf
+dbms.memory.heap.initial_size=2G
+dbms.memory.heap.max_size=4G
+dbms.memory.pagecache.size=4G
+```
+
+3. **Query Limits**: Always use LIMIT in queries to prevent memory exhaustion
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+### Replaceable Events
+
+Replaceable events (kinds 0, 3, 10000-19999) are handled in `WouldReplaceEvent()`:
+
+```cypher
+MATCH (e:Event {kind: $kind, pubkey: $pubkey})
+WHERE e.created_at < $createdAt
+RETURN e.serial, e.created_at
+```
+
+Older events are deleted before saving the new one.
+
+### Parameterized Replaceable Events
+
+For kinds 30000-39999, we also match on the d-tag:
+
+```cypher
+MATCH (e:Event {kind: $kind, pubkey: $pubkey})-[:TAGGED_WITH]->(t:Tag {type: 'd', value: $dValue})
+WHERE e.created_at < $createdAt
+RETURN e.serial
+```
+
+### Event Deletion (NIP-09)
+
+Delete events (kind 5) are processed via graph traversal:
+
+```cypher
+MATCH (target:Event {id: $targetId})
+MATCH (delete:Event {kind: 5})-[:REFERENCES]->(target)
+WHERE delete.pubkey = $pubkey OR delete.pubkey IN $admins
+RETURN delete.id
+```
+
+Only same-author or admin deletions are allowed.
+
+## Comparison with Other Backends
+
+| Feature | Badger | DGraph | Neo4j |
+|---------|--------|--------|-------|
+| **Storage Type** | Key-value | Graph (distributed) | Graph (native) |
+| **Query Language** | Custom indexes | DQL | Cypher |
+| **Tag Queries** | Index lookups | Graph traversal | Native relationships |
+| **Scaling** | Single-node | Distributed | Cluster/Causal cluster |
+| **Memory Usage** | Low | Medium | High |
+| **Setup Complexity** | Minimal | Medium | Medium |
+| **Best For** | Small relays | Large distributed | Relationship-heavy |
+
+## Development Guide
+
+### Adding New Indexes
+
+1. Update [schema.go](../pkg/neo4j/schema.go) with new index definition
+2. Add to `applySchema()` function
+3. Restart relay to apply schema changes
+
+Example:
+```cypher
+CREATE INDEX event_content_fulltext IF NOT EXISTS
+FOR (e:Event) ON (e.content)
+OPTIONS {indexConfig: {`fulltext.analyzer`: 'english'}}
+```
+
+### Custom Queries
+
+To add custom query methods:
+
+1. Add method to [query-events.go](../pkg/neo4j/query-events.go)
+2. Build Cypher query with parameterization
+3. Use `ExecuteRead()` or `ExecuteWrite()` as appropriate
+4. Parse results with `parseEventsFromResult()`
+
+### Testing
+
+Due to Neo4j dependency, tests require a running Neo4j instance:
+
+```bash
+# Start Neo4j via Docker
+docker run -d --name neo4j-test \
+  -p 7687:7687 \
+  -e NEO4J_AUTH=neo4j/test \
+  neo4j:5.15
+
+# Run tests
+ORLY_NEO4J_URI="bolt://localhost:7687" \
+ORLY_NEO4J_USER="neo4j" \
+ORLY_NEO4J_PASSWORD="test" \
+go test ./pkg/neo4j/...
+
+# Cleanup
+docker rm -f neo4j-test
+```
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+1. **Full-text Search**: Leverage Neo4j's full-text indexes for content search
+2. **Graph Analytics**: Implement social graph metrics (centrality, communities)
+3. **Advanced Queries**: Support NIP-50 search via Cypher full-text capabilities
+4. **Clustering**: Deploy Neo4j cluster for high availability
+5. **APOC Procedures**: Utilize APOC library for advanced graph algorithms
+6. **Caching Layer**: Implement query result caching similar to Badger backend
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Connection Issues
+
+```bash
+# Test connectivity
+cypher-shell -a bolt://localhost:7687 -u neo4j -p password
+
+# Check Neo4j logs
+docker logs neo4j
+```
+
+### Performance Issues
+
+```cypher
+// View query execution plan
+EXPLAIN MATCH (e:Event) WHERE e.kind = 1 RETURN e LIMIT 10
+
+// Profile query performance
+PROFILE MATCH (e:Event)-[:AUTHORED_BY]->(a:Author) RETURN e, a LIMIT 10
+```
+
+### Schema Issues
+
+```cypher
+// List all constraints
+SHOW CONSTRAINTS
+
+// List all indexes
+SHOW INDEXES
+
+// Drop and recreate schema
+DROP CONSTRAINT event_id_unique IF EXISTS
+CREATE CONSTRAINT event_id_unique FOR (e:Event) REQUIRE e.id IS UNIQUE
+```

+# Neo4j Database Backend
+
+A graph database backend implementation for the ORLY Nostr relay using Neo4j.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### 1. Start Neo4j
+
+```bash
+docker run -d --name neo4j \
+  -p 7474:7474 -p 7687:7687 \
+  -e NEO4J_AUTH=neo4j/password \
+  neo4j:5.15
+```
+
+### 2. Configure Environment
+
+```bash
+export ORLY_DB_TYPE=neo4j
+export ORLY_NEO4J_URI=bolt://localhost:7687
+export ORLY_NEO4J_USER=neo4j
+export ORLY_NEO4J_PASSWORD=password
+```
+
+### 3. Run ORLY
+
+```bash
+./orly
+```
+
+## Features
+
+- **Graph-Native Storage**: Events, authors, and tags stored as nodes and relationships
+- **Efficient Queries**: Leverages Neo4j's native graph traversal for tag and social graph queries
+- **Cypher Query Language**: Powerful, expressive query language for complex filters
+- **Automatic Indexing**: Unique constraints and indexes for optimal performance
+- **Relationship Queries**: Native support for event references, mentions, and tags
+
+## Architecture
+
+See [docs/NEO4J_BACKEND.md](../../docs/NEO4J_BACKEND.md) for comprehensive documentation on:
+- Graph schema design
+- How Nostr REQ messages are implemented in Cypher
+- Performance tuning
+- Development guide
+- Comparison with other backends
+
+## File Structure
+
+- `neo4j.go` - Main database implementation
+- `schema.go` - Graph schema and index definitions
+- `query-events.go` - REQ filter to Cypher translation
+- `save-event.go` - Event storage with relationship creation

+## Testing
+
+```bash
+# Start Neo4j test instance
+docker run -d --name neo4j-test \
+  -p 7687:7687 \
+  -e NEO4J_AUTH=neo4j/test \
+  neo4j:5.15
+
+# Run tests
+ORLY_NEO4J_URI="bolt://localhost:7687" \
+ORLY_NEO4J_USER="neo4j" \
+ORLY_NEO4J_PASSWORD="test" \
+go test ./pkg/neo4j/...
+
+# Cleanup
+docker rm -f neo4j-test
+```
+
+## Example Cypher Queries
+
+### Find all events by an author
+```cypher
+MATCH (e:Event {pubkey: "abc123..."})
+RETURN e
+ORDER BY e.created_at DESC
+```
+
+### Find events with specific tags
+```cypher
+MATCH (e:Event)-[:TAGGED_WITH]->(t:Tag {type: "t", value: "bitcoin"})
+RETURN e
+```
+
+### Social graph query
+```cypher
+MATCH (author:Author {pubkey: "abc123..."})
+<-[:AUTHORED_BY]-(e:Event)
+-[:MENTIONS]->(mentioned:Author)
+RETURN author, e, mentioned
+```
+
+## Performance Tips
+
+1. **Use Limits**: Always include LIMIT in queries
+2. **Index Usage**: Ensure queries use indexed properties (id, kind, created_at)
+3. **Parameterize**: Use parameterized queries to enable query plan caching
+4. **Monitor**: Use `EXPLAIN` and `PROFILE` to analyze query performance
+
+## Limitations
+
+- Requires external Neo4j database (not embedded)
+- Higher memory usage compared to Badger
+- Metadata still uses Badger (markers, subscriptions)
+- More complex deployment than single-binary solutions
+
+## Why Neo4j for Nostr?
+
+Nostr is inherently a social graph with heavy relationship queries:
+- Event references (e-tags) → Graph edges
+- Author mentions (p-tags) → Graph edges
+- Follow relationships → Graph structure
+- Thread traversal → Path queries
+
+Neo4j excels at these patterns, making it a natural fit for relationship-heavy Nostr queries.
