+ [https://aws.amazon.com/neptune/](https://aws.amazon.com/neptune/)** **–** **A fully managed graph database service that makes it easy to build and run applications that work with highly connected datasets. An Amazon Neptune-based knowledge graph finds relationships between projects and provides recommendations.
+ [https://aws.amazon.com/bedrock/](https://aws.amazon.com/bedrock/)** **–** **A fully managed service providing API access to high-performing foundation models (FMs) from Amazon and leading AI companies. It supports fine-tuning, RAG-based customization, and Automated Reasoning — without managing infrastructure — with built-in security, privacy, and responsible AI capabilities for building and scaling generative AI applications on AWS.
+ [https://aws.amazon.com/bedrock/agentcore/](https://aws.amazon.com/bedrock/agentcore/)** **–** **A managed platform for building, deploying, and operating enterprise-grade AI agents at scale. It provides purpose-built infrastructure, session management, memory, and security controls to move agents from proof-of-concept to production — enabling secure, reliable autonomous agent operations at enterprise scale.
+ [https://github.com/ontop/ontop](https://github.com/ontop/ontop)** **–** **An open-source Virtual Knowledge Graph (VKG) system that exposes relational databases as virtual RDF knowledge graphs — without moving data. It translates SPARQL queries over ontology-defined knowledge graphs into SQL executed directly against relational sources, using R2RML mappings and lightweight OWL ontologies. Built on OBDA (Ontology-Based Data Access) principles, Ontop enables semantic querying over existing data infrastructure with no data duplication.
+ [https://aws.amazon.com/opensearch-service/](https://aws.amazon.com/opensearch-service/)** **–** **A managed service for real-time search, monitoring, and analysis. It provides vector storage and semantic similarity search for embedding-based retrieval in RAG and GraphRAG workflows. Available as provisioned clusters or OpenSearch Serverless (auto-scaling, pay-per-use).
