Aura

standalone session

An Aura Graph Analytics session attached to no AuraDB instance, projecting instead from data you supply.

Example

A session created with a cloud location rather than an instance to read from. Projections are mapped from external data sources.

python
gds = sessions.get_or_create(
    session_name="standalone-demo",
    memory=SessionMemory.m_2GB,
    ttl=timedelta(minutes=30),
    cloud_location=CloudLocation("gcp", "europe-west1"),
)

Algorithms run in it as they would in any other session. gds.run_cypher() fails, because there is no database for it to reach.
