Name

Amazon has acquired Blazegraph's domain and (probably) product. It is said that Amazon Neptune is based on Blazegraph.

Description

Analytic DBMS for real-time computations and queries

High-performance graph database supporting Semantic Web (RDF/SPARQL) and Graph Database (tinkerpop3, blueprints, vertex-centric) APIs with scale-out and High Availability.

Multi-storage database for search, including full-text search.

Widely used RDBMS

A lightweight, in-memory graph engine that serves as a reference implementation of the TinkerPop3 API

Primary database model

Relational DBMS

a hierachical model (tree) can be imposed

Secondary database models

Time Series DBMS

using the Manticore Columnar Library

Document store
Graph DBMS

with Oracle Spatial and Graph
RDF store
