Amazon Neptune Analytics is now supported as a graph store in NetworkX

Today, we are announcing a new capability that NetworkX now supports Neptune Analytics as a graph store. With this release, developers can continue to use familiar NetworkX APIs while automatically offloading graph algorithm workloads to Neptune’s scalable, high-performance analytics engine. This makes it simple to scale graph computations on demand without refactoring code, combining the ease of local development with the performance and elasticity of a fully managed AWS service.

Previously, when datasets grew beyond the limits of a local environment, users had to turn to third-party services—rebuilding their graph models to fit proprietary formats, exporting and importing data, and learning entirely new systems. With the new nx-neptune integration, developers only need an AWS account and credentials; the solution automatically handles graph data modeling, data movement (Zero-ETL), and infrastructure management. It provisions a Neptune Analytics instance, runs the requested algorithm, returns results directly to the user, and then tears down the infrastructure for a cost-effective, serverless-like experience—all without requiring the user to leave their familiar Python workflow.

NetworkX is a widely used open-source Python library for creating, analyzing, and visualizing complex graphs. It offers an extensive collection of graph algorithms and utilities, making it a popular choice among researchers, data scientists, and developers for prototyping and experimenting with graph-based applications.
