Neptune specialty
AWS Neptune, as a graph database service, is specialized for use cases involving highly connected data, such as social networks, recommendation engines, fraud detection, and knowledge graphs. Unlike traditional relational databases, Neptune is optimized for storing and querying graph data models, including property graphs and RDF (Resource Description Framework) data. For more detailed information, refer to the AWS Neptune database documentation.
Important: In Team Edition, AWS Neptune is read-only.
