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.
