Needs advice

Amazon Neptune

and

Neo4j

Hey people!!!!! I am developing an application for which graph databases are perfect, but I am low on cash(0 actually), and I am wondering if there is any free service is available for Amazon Neptune or Neo4j or any other substitute is available for the two. As far as I checked, I couldn't find any free service.

Needs advice

Azure Cosmos DB

Neo4j

and

OrientDB

We have an in-house build experiment management system. We produce samples as input to the next step, which then could produce 1 sample(1-1) and many samples (1 - many). There are many steps like this. So far, we are tracking genealogy (limited tracking) in the MySQL database, which is becoming hard to trace back to the original material or sample(I can give more details if required). So, we are considering a Graph database. I am requesting advice from the experts.

Is a graph database the right choice, or can we manage with RDBMS?
If RDBMS, which RDMS, which feature, or which approach could make this manageable or sustainable
If Graph database(Neo4j, OrientDB, Azure Cosmos DB, Amazon Neptune, ArangoDB), which one is good, and what are the best practices?

I am sorry that this might be a loaded question.

Amazon Neptune Alternatives & Comparisons

What are some alternatives to Amazon Neptune?

Neo4j

Neo4j stores data in nodes connected by directed, typed relationships with properties on both, also known as a Property Graph. It is a high performance graph store with all the features expected of a mature and robust database, like a friendly query language and ACID transactions.

GraphQL

GraphQL is a data query language and runtime designed and used at Facebook to request and deliver data to mobile and web apps since 2012.

OrientDB

It is an open source NoSQL database management system written in Java. It is a Multi-model database, supporting graph, document, key/value, and object models, but the relationships are managed as in graph databases with direct connections between records.

JanusGraph

It is a scalable graph database optimized for storing and querying graphs containing hundreds of billions of vertices and edges distributed across a multi-machine cluster. It is a transactional database that can support thousands of concurrent users executing complex graph traversals in real time.

Dgraph

Dgraph's goal is to provide Google production level scale and throughput, with low enough latency to be serving real time user queries, over terabytes of structured data. Dgraph supports GraphQL-like query syntax, and responds in JSON and Protocol Buffers over GRPC and HTTP.
