Name

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

Description

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

Datomic builds on immutable values, supports point-in-time queries and uses 3rd party systems for durability

Performant, highly scalable DBMS for AI and IoT applications
