Introducing an open-source UI for graph analytics over data lakes with Amazon Neptune Analytics

Amazon Neptune Analytics: New Open-Source Solution for Graph Analytics

AWS has introduced an open-source solution with a local web UI to help customers transform data lake records into graphs for analysis with Amazon Neptune Analytics. This solution simplifies the process of investigating connections across tables and running graph algorithms without the need for custom ETL pipelines.

Customers can now project selected records and relationships into a graph to explore connections or identify communities that may require further investigation. The new UI streamlines the workflow by allowing customers to:

• Select an Athena catalog and database
• Define a property graph using SQL/PGQ
• Preview rows before import

The solution runs projection queries through Athena, stages the data in Amazon S3, and imports it into Neptune Analytics. The UI also helps manage the resulting graph, enabling customers to open the loaded graph in Graph Explorer for querying and visualizing relationships.

What to do

• Select an Athena catalog and database
• Define a property graph using SQL/PGQ
• Preview rows before import
• Open the loaded graph in Graph Explorer for querying and visualization
