It supports popular graph models like Property Graph and W3C's RDF, enabling flexible querying via languages like Apache TinkerPop Gremlin, openCypher, and SPARQL. As a fully managed AWS service, Neptune automates time-consuming tasks such as hardware provisioning, software patching, setup, configuration, and backups. It features a distributed, fault-tolerant storage system that automatically scales up to 128 TiB per database cluster, ensures high availability with up to 15 low-latency read replicas, and provides robust enterprise security features like encryption at rest and in transit.
