before @werner’s keynote, I’m going to sneak in, “Deep dive on Amazon Neptune” (DAT309) by @b2ebs
because otherwise, I’m going to make

despite being a 300-level talk, graph 101 is entirely appropriate here
a lot of ppl need this introduction to realize what this tool is good at

some cases where graphs are a good choice:
- looking at patterns in relationships
- traversing relationships

before you all jump in & say “I can do this in an RDBMS or ___” …yes, yes you can
it’s a question of the experience and performance of the analysis. building a question to explore these types of datasets in standard SQL is a nightmare…but doable
simple via graphs

lots of customers using Amazon Neptune for graphs today << probably not as many as it would help though. lots of work to do around graph education

the notebook piece is huge. a great way to get introduced to graph concepts and to make sure that you’re accomplishing your goals with Neptune

the streams feature of Neptune is _extremely_ useful. learn more at https://docs.aws.amazon.com/neptune/latest/userguide/streams.html

. @awscloud Neptune also provides the ability to ask what your queries are doing. learn more about that at https://docs.aws.amazon.com/neptune/latest/userguide/streams.html

lots of technical details in this session on @awscloud Neptune, exactly what we want in a 300-level talk

notice the simplicity in the logic of the query? that’s a huge advantage of graphs << when picking a data store, you really need to think about how you use it. do you write more? simple reads? complex queries? that’ll point you in the right direction

here’s what that data looks like on disc in the data model
it’s simple to write to the store but the graph db engine allows for that complicated query to be written simply and run very fast

…honestly that’s probably a huge challenge for most ppl getting into graphs. what’s the difference between TinkerPop, Gremlin, SPARQL? why do I care? what are the non-reversible choices I have to make right now?
#reinvent
#reinvent
. @awscloud Neptune does a good job of limiting the impact of these choices and hiding the complexity BUT the larger graph community has a lot of work to do to in this area

nice tip here. you can use AWS Database Migration Service to load data into Neptune
