Benchmark
Aerospike Graph vs. Amazon Neptune: performance comparison
What you’ll learn
This benchmark compares Aerospike Graph v3.0.0 and Amazon Neptune v1.2.1.2 on a representative identity graph workload using equivalent hardware and a ten-million scale factor dataset of 35 GB of CSVs. The evaluation focused on four key metrics for identity resolution and activation.
Leveraging the Hybrid Memory Architecture in Aerospike Database 8 and a separation of compute and storage, Aerospike Graph delivers predictable low latency, high ingest rates, and real-time traversal at scale — making it the stronger choice for identity graph workloads where consistent behavior under load is non-negotiable.
Key Highlights
Significantly lower p99 read and write latency than Amazon Neptune under equivalent workload conditions
Higher sustained throughput as concurrency increases, with stable behavior across volatile access patterns
Faster bulk ingestion reduces time to production and accelerates identity graph readiness
Lower infrastructure cost to handle the same workload at equivalent scale
Predictable real-time traversal performance makes Aerospike Graph the benchmark leader for identity resolution
