Amazon Neptune now supports reading data from Amazon S3 within openCypher queries. Through the new `neptune.read()` procedure, customers now have an additional option of federating with external data stored in S3 versus needing to load data into Neptune. Organizations using Neptune for graph analytics can now dynamically incorporate S3-stored data without the traditional multi-step workflow requirements.
Key use cases include real-time graph analytics that combine S3 data with existing graph structures, dynamic node and edge creation from external datasets, and complex graph queries requiring external reference data. The procedure supports comprehensive data types including standard and Neptune-specific formats such as geometry and datetime, while maintaining security through the caller’s IAM credentials.
Read from S3 is available in all regions where Amazon Neptune Database is currently offered. To learn more, check out the Neptune Database documentation.
