How Orca Security optimized their Amazon Neptune database performance

Database Blog



Orca Security describes how they optimized their Amazon Neptune graph database performance for their cloud security platform by implementing several key strategies:

  • Batching data inserts to reduce communication overhead
  • Implementing a multi-tenant partition strategy with unique page identifiers
  • Creating an in-memory caching layer to speed up node retrieval
  • Using concurrent inbound and outbound queries to reduce response times
  • Optimizing data modeling to minimize unnecessary nodes and edges

These optimizations allow Orca to efficiently store and query complex relationships between cloud assets, enabling their platform to generate more accurate security insights and exposure evaluations for customers.
