Last year, Amazon Web Services (AWS) announced the launch of its fast, reliable, and fully-managed cloud graph database, Amazon Neptune, at the Amazon Re:Invent 2017. Recently, AWS announced that Neptune is all set for the general public to explore.

Graph databases store the relationships between connected data as graphs. This enables applications to access the data in a single operation, rather than a bunch of individual queries for all the data. Similarly, Neptune makes it easy for developers to build and run applications that work with highly connected datasets. Also, due to the availability of AWS managed graph database service, developers can further experience high scalability, security, durability, and availability.

As Neptune becomes generally available, there are a large number of performance enhancements and updates, following are some additional upgrades:


Some of the benefits of Amazon Neptune include:

  • Neptune’s query processing engine is highly optimized for two of the leading graph models, Property Graph and W3C's RDF. It is also associated with the query languages, Apache TinkerPop Gremlin and RDF/SPARQL, providing customers the flexibility to choose the right approach based on their specific graph use case.
  • Neptune storage scales automatically, without downtime or performance degradation as customer data increases.
  • It allows developers to design sophisticated, interactive graph applications, which can query billions of relationships with millisecond latency.
  • Unlock access to the largest independent learning library in Tech for FREE!
    Get unlimited access to 7500+ expert-authored eBooks and video courses covering every tech area you can think of.
