The Amazon Neptune is a graph database. In the graph database, instead of relational tables, you have nodes and edges. For example, in a conversation between two people, the two people would be a node, and they are connecting because they are talking and that would be an edge. If you can imagine the model spreading out, this person knows this person, this person works with this person. It's more of a LinkedIn or Facebook-type relationship, which has its benefits.
