Amazon Neptune

Amazon Neptune is the managed service of the graph database which simplifies creation and applications launch, the slozhnosvyazanny data working with sets. Amazon Neptune is the cornerstone specially created high-performance core of the graph database optimized for storage of billions of interrelations and accomplishment of requests to the graph with delays at the level of milliseconds.

Amazon Neptune supports popular models of graphs Property Graph and RDF W3C and also their corresponding languages of requests Apache TinkerPop Gremlin and SPARQL that allows to create requests for effective navigation on sets of slozhnosvyazanny data.

2018: Global start

At the end of May, 2018 the Amazon company announced global start of Neptune. With its help of development can create the graph applications capable to get access to unstructured data for millisecond.

We are glad to provide high-performance service of the graph database which will allow developers to poll billions of communications for only a few milliseconds through standard API that with ease to create and start applications on the basis of sets of slozhnosvyazanny data — the vice president of Amazon Web Services (AWS) said to Raj Gulabani.

Amazon started graph DBMS: access to unstructured data for millisecond

Amazon Neptune is intended to provide availability at the level of more than 99.99 %. In it the failsafe selfrepair storage created for a cloud which supports six remarks of data of the user in three zones of availability is used.  Service will be available to developers in the different countries gradually.^[1]
