Amazon has acquired Blazegraph's domain and (probably) product. It is said that Amazon Neptune is based on Blazegraph.
DescriptionHigh-performance graph database supporting Semantic Web (RDF/SPARQL) and Graph Database (tinkerpop3, blueprints, vertex-centric) APIs with scale-out and High Availability.All data is stored inside objects which are linked by so-called link attributes. Objects consist of classes which can be extended and de-extended at runtime. Graphs can be defined with a struct.Database as a Service offering based on Apache CouchDBA Wide Column Store for rapid development using massive semi-structured datasetsA .NET Object Database that can be embedded/distributed and extended to a graph data model (VelocityGraph)
