Exporting data from a Neptune DB cluster
Neptune provides several ways to export data from your DB cluster, depending on the data model, format, and scale of export you need.
- Native export to Amazon S3
Use the built-in Neptune export API to export RDF data directly to Amazon S3 in N-Triples or N-Quads format. This is the simplest approach for large-scale RDF exports because it requires no external infrastructure.
- Exporting query results to Amazon S3
Export the results of a Gremlin traversal directly to Amazon S3 using the
call()step. Use this when you need to export query results that are too large to return as a response, or when you want to store Gremlin query output for downstream processing.- External neptune-export tool
Use the open-source
neptune-exporttool – a separate application from Neptune that you deploy and operate yourself – to export property graph or RDF data in CSV and other formats. Can be run as a managed service (Neptune-Export service) or as a command-line tool. Use this when you need CSV output or formats not yet supported by native export.
For small amounts of data, you can also simply use the results of a query. For RDF data, the Graph Store Protocol (GSP) provides a simple way to export individual named graphs.
