You can now run graph analytics and machine learning tasks on graph data stored in Amazon Neptune using an open-source Python integration that simplifies data science and ML workflows. With this integration, you can read and write graph data stored in Neptune using Pandas DataFrames in any Python environment, such as a local Jupyter notebook instance, Amazon SageMaker Studio, AWS Lambda, or other compute resources. From there, you can run graph algorithms, such as PageRank and Connected Components, using open-source libraries like iGraph , NetworkX , and cuGraph .
