IBM BlueMix Graph Data Store

[Marko Rodriguez <ok...@gmail.com>]

Hello,

IBM's BlueMix GraphDatabase (as a Service) is TinkerPop3 enabled. I saw a post on this a while a back, but found it again and started following links. For those interested in learning more about IBM's graph database, see:

	https://developer.ibm.com/opentech/2015/07/17/ibm-bluemix-graph-data-store/
	https://graph-data-store-docs.ng.bluemix.net/

I added it to our homepage under "implementations":

	http://tinkerpop.incubator.apache.org/

I know some of the IBM guys are on this list. Anything else worth sharing?

Take care,
Marko.

Hi Marko, so the goal of the service which we are labeling "experimental" 
initially is to enable BlueMix users to experiment with graph technology 
and experiment with building it into their cloud hosted applications. We 
hope to continue to enhance the service over the coming weeks. We have had 
several internal and external users comment to us that a graph service 
would help them with solutions that they are building. I suspect initially 
people will build quite small graphs as they kick the tires but the service 
does not physically stop them from creating decent sized ones. I also 
imagine most people will use the graph as part of a bigger solution 
probably incorporating other BlueMix big data and analytics services that 
are being rolled out. The service itself leverages Tinkerpop 3 over a REST 
API and allows people coding in various languages (including 
Node.js/Javascript users which is a big community for us) to create and 
manipulate a graph. While you folks have been doing graph for years a lot 
of the people we have spoken to are coming to property graphs in particular 
for the first time so we hope the service will provide an easy way to get 
started on the learning and experimenting path.

I will happily report back here on any feedback we get specific to 
Tinkerpop 3 etc.

Cheers
Kelvin
