gdotv on AWS Marketplace: Your Favorite Graph DB Client, Now in Your Browser

Introduction

Today marks the official release of gdotv on AWS Marketplace.

So far, gdotv has always been a desktop application, but it is now available directly through your web browser. Check out the official AWS Marketplace listing here or dive into the docs for gdotv on AWS Marketplace to get started.

This release marks a big shift for gdotv as a graph database client, and I’m excited to share it with you. Let’s dive into the details.

How Is gdotv for AWS Marketplace Different from gdotv Desktop?

The fundamental difference between gdotv Desktop and gdotv on AWS Marketplace is that the latter is available directly through your web browser and is not a desktop executable. This new version is instead deployed as a Docker container.

Another major difference from gdotv Desktop is the number of users available on the same deployment. Since it’s a website, gdotv on AWS Marketplace can be accessed by multiple users concurrently, and they can share configurations with one another.

Here are a few other highlights of using gdotv on AWS Marketplace:

• Write Gremlin and Cypher queries easily using the gdotv built-in query editor, with syntax checking, autocomplete and embedded documentation.
• Visualize query results across a variety of formats such as JSON, tables, graph and object browser.
• Save and organize your graph queries into folders to easily maintain curated reports for your database.
• Navigate, explore and modify your graph data interactively with the graph database visualization feature.
• Improve team collaboration with a centralized view of your graph data schema, which is automatically loaded and visible as an entity-relationship diagram.
• Connect as many database endpoints as you like on gdotv.
• Connect securely to your Amazon Neptune clusters using IAM authentication via EC2 instance profiles
