i dont know but amazon aquired the blazegraph developers so maybe its not https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blazegraph

It was alleged[20] that Amazon Neptune is based on Blazegraph, as evidenced by:

acquiring of the Blazegraph trademark by AWS;[21]
acquiring of the blazegraph.com domain name by AWS;[22]
transition of many employees (including CEO) to AWS.[23]
