The CDK Construct Library for AWS::Neptune
Project description
Amazon Neptune Construct Library
---The APIs of higher level constructs in this module are experimental and under active development. They are subject to non-backward compatible changes or removal in any future version. These are not subject to the Semantic Versioning model and breaking changes will be announced in the release notes. This means that while you may use them, you may need to update your source code when upgrading to a newer version of this package.
Amazon Neptune is a fast, reliable, fully managed graph database service that makes it easy to build and run applications that work with highly connected datasets. The core of Neptune is a purpose-built, high-performance graph database engine. This engine is optimized for storing billions of relationships and querying the graph with milliseconds latency. Neptune supports the popular graph query languages Apache TinkerPop Gremlin and W3C’s SPARQL, enabling you to build queries that efficiently navigate highly connected datasets.
The @aws-cdk/aws-neptune-alpha
package contains primitives for setting up Neptune database clusters and instances.
import aws_cdk.aws_neptune_alpha as neptune
Starting a Neptune Database
To set up a Neptune database, define a DatabaseCluster
. You must always launch a database in a VPC.
cluster = neptune.DatabaseCluster(self, "Database",
vpc=vpc,
instance_type=neptune.InstanceType.R5_LARGE
)
By default only writer instance is provisioned with this construct.
Connecting
To control who can access the cluster, use the .connections
attribute. Neptune databases have a default port, so
you don't need to specify the port:
cluster.connections.allow_default_port_from_any_ipv4("Open to the world")
The endpoints to access your database cluster will be available as the .clusterEndpoint
and .clusterReadEndpoint
attributes:
write_address = cluster.cluster_endpoint.socket_address
IAM Authentication
You can also authenticate to a database cluster using AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) database authentication; See https://docs.aws.amazon.com/neptune/latest/userguide/iam-auth.html for more information and a list of supported versions and limitations.
The following example shows enabling IAM authentication for a database cluster and granting connection access to an IAM role.
cluster = neptune.DatabaseCluster(self, "Cluster",
vpc=vpc,
instance_type=neptune.InstanceType.R5_LARGE,
iam_authentication=True
)
role = iam.Role(self, "DBRole", assumed_by=iam.AccountPrincipal(self.account))
# Use one of the following statements to grant the role the necessary permissions
cluster.grant_connect(role) # Grant the role neptune-db:* access to the DB
cluster.grant(role, "neptune-db:ReadDataViaQuery", "neptune-db:WriteDataViaQuery")
Customizing parameters
Neptune allows configuring database behavior by supplying custom parameter groups. For more details, refer to the following link: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/neptune/latest/userguide/parameters.html
cluster_params = neptune.ClusterParameterGroup(self, "ClusterParams",
description="Cluster parameter group",
parameters={
"neptune_enable_audit_log": "1"
}
)
db_params = neptune.ParameterGroup(self, "DbParams",
description="Db parameter group",
parameters={
"neptune_query_timeout": "120000"
}
)
cluster = neptune.DatabaseCluster(self, "Database",
vpc=vpc,
instance_type=neptune.InstanceType.R5_LARGE,
cluster_parameter_group=cluster_params,
parameter_group=db_params
)
Note: To use the Neptune engine versions 1.2.0.0
or later, including the newly added 1.3
series, it's necessary to specify the appropriate engineVersion
prop in neptune.DatabaseCluster
. Additionally, for both 1.2 and 1.3 series, the corresponding family
prop must be set to ParameterGroupFamily.NEPTUNE_1_2
or ParameterGroupFamily.NEPTUNE_1_3
respectively in neptune.ClusterParameterGroup
and neptune.ParameterGroup
.
Adding replicas
DatabaseCluster
allows launching replicas along with the writer instance. This can be specified using the instanceCount
attribute.
cluster = neptune.DatabaseCluster(self, "Database",
vpc=vpc,
instance_type=neptune.InstanceType.R5_LARGE,
instances=2
)
Additionally, it is also possible to add replicas using DatabaseInstance
for an existing cluster.
replica1 = neptune.DatabaseInstance(self, "Instance",
cluster=cluster,
instance_type=neptune.InstanceType.R5_LARGE
)
Automatic minor version upgrades
By setting autoMinorVersionUpgrade
to true, Neptune will automatically update
the engine of the entire cluster to the latest minor version after a stabilization
window of 2 to 3 weeks.
neptune.DatabaseCluster(self, "Cluster",
vpc=vpc,
instance_type=neptune.InstanceType.R5_LARGE,
auto_minor_version_upgrade=True
)
Logging
Neptune supports various methods for monitoring performance and usage. One of those methods is logging
- Neptune provides logs e.g. audit logs which can be viewed or downloaded via the AWS Console. Audit logs can be enabled using the
neptune_enable_audit_log
parameter inClusterParameterGroup
orParameterGroup
- Neptune provides the ability to export those logs to CloudWatch Logs
# Cluster parameter group with the neptune_enable_audit_log param set to 1
cluster_parameter_group = neptune.ClusterParameterGroup(self, "ClusterParams",
description="Cluster parameter group",
parameters={
"neptune_enable_audit_log": "1"
}
)
cluster = neptune.DatabaseCluster(self, "Database",
vpc=vpc,
instance_type=neptune.InstanceType.R5_LARGE,
# Audit logs are enabled via the clusterParameterGroup
cluster_parameter_group=cluster_parameter_group,
# Optionally configuring audit logs to be exported to CloudWatch Logs
cloudwatch_logs_exports=[neptune.LogType.AUDIT],
# Optionally set a retention period on exported CloudWatch Logs
cloudwatch_logs_retention=logs.RetentionDays.ONE_MONTH
)
For more information on monitoring, refer to https://docs.aws.amazon.com/neptune/latest/userguide/monitoring.html. For more information on audit logs, refer to https://docs.aws.amazon.com/neptune/latest/userguide/auditing.html. For more information on exporting logs to CloudWatch Logs, refer to https://docs.aws.amazon.com/neptune/latest/userguide/cloudwatch-logs.html.
Metrics
Both DatabaseCluster
and DatabaseInstance
provide a metric()
method to help with cluster-level and instance-level monitoring.
# cluster: neptune.DatabaseCluster
# instance: neptune.DatabaseInstance
cluster.metric("SparqlRequestsPerSec") # cluster-level SparqlErrors metric
instance.metric("SparqlRequestsPerSec")
For more details on the available metrics, refer to https://docs.aws.amazon.com/neptune/latest/userguide/cw-metrics.html
Copy tags to snapshot
By setting copyTagsToSnapshot
to true, all tags of the cluster are copied to the snapshots when they are created.
cluster = neptune.DatabaseCluster(self, "Database",
vpc=vpc,
instance_type=neptune.InstanceType.R5_LARGE,
copy_tags_to_snapshot=True
)
Neptune Serverless
You can configure a Neptune Serverless cluster using the dedicated instance type along with the
serverlessScalingConfiguration
property.
Visit Using Amazon Neptune Serverless for more details.
cluster = neptune.DatabaseCluster(self, "ServerlessDatabase",
vpc=vpc,
instance_type=neptune.InstanceType.SERVERLESS,
serverless_scaling_configuration=neptune.ServerlessScalingConfiguration(
min_capacity=1,
max_capacity=5
)
)
