I've created a new Neptune DB cluster from my console, for me to connect to the endpoint I made use of the instance endpoint given it's of the form d-1.cluster-xxxxxx.eu-west-1.neptune.amazonaws.com. I also created a new IAM user with ALLAdminstrative access and made use of the access key and secret key in establishing connection.

Whenever I try to hit the endpoint from my local I get a 500 connect ETIMEDOUT 1x2.x1.x0.xxx:8182 error.

How do I connect to the NeptuneDB as appropriate? (I'm building my app in NodeJS)

P.S: I'm new to using AWS and its console.

I tried connecting to a new AWS NeptuneDB Cluser from my local but I'm getting a connect ETIMEDOUT 1x2.x1.x0.xxx:8182 errror

  • Neptune does not expose a public DNS endpoint. You have to provide a way to access the VPC (there are many options). Please see the answers to: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52575630/connect-to-neptune-on-aws-from-local-machine for a few such options. – Kelvin Lawrence May 28 '23 at 14:44
  • Just following up. Were you able to get a connection configured using an ALB, SSH Tunnel or similar? If not, happy to help more. – Kelvin Lawrence May 30 '23 at 13:58

    @KelvinLawrence yes I got it to work using ALB, wasn't easy to setup at first but I'm now connected. Moving to querying the DB with gremlin and visualizing the data itself :) – Abdul-Qudus A O May 30 '23 at 17:38

  • A non AWS way to run NeptuneDB locally is here. All they are doing here is packaging Gremlin server and using it as an endpoint for Gremlin queries. You can do this with Apache TinkerPop Gremlin server as well
  • Another approach is to have a Notebook attached to the cluster so that you can test your gremlin/SparQL queries using the notebook/workbench as outlined here
  • If you are looking to connect via http CURL, then you can use Neptune endpoint in CURL command as documented here
  • Another approach is to use gremlin console as detailed here
