This is something I'm also very interested in. Googling, there do seem to be examples of people who have set up their own Neo4j instances on Amazon's cloud, which would presumably have low-latency talking to Heroku.
There are some very raw official instructions here: http://wiki.neo4j.org/content/Neo4j_in_the_Cloud The official REST interface is still at an early stage of development, and it might make more sense to implement your own REST interface using a Sinatra or Rails app in JRuby with the rapidly evolving Neo4j.rb gem: http://github.com/andreasronge/neo4j/wiki That would ideally be hosted on Amazon, with your Heroku application communicating with your data through the REST interface you create. The advantage of rolling your own, is that your REST interface can be domain specific. I'd LOVE to see a Neo4j add-on, but any REST interface offered is going to be extremely limited. And I'd still need to host an application running JRuby somewhere to use the descriptive power of the Neo4j.rb gem. If you make any progress, do post here.
