As others mention, Neptune is based on Blazegraph. It is a layer on top of Amazon Aurora and has the typical graph layer issues I mention my blog post (in particular the join depth problem).
When Neptune was launched, I wrote another article critiquing its design. Worth a read: https://blog.dgraph.io/post/neptune/ https://blog.dgraph.io/post/neptune/
- pbowyer 8y agoI'd missed the announcement of Neptune, so thanks for alerting me. Have you reviewed the Microsoft Azure Cosmos DB, with its graph access layer?
- mrjn 8y agoI haven't. But, the design is the same. Graph layer on top of another DB, because they didn't want to invest in building a native graph DB. In general, that approach doesn't lead to good performance, as I explained in the blog post.
