1. Introduction
pyTigerGraph is a Python client (SDK) that simplifies interactions with the TigerGraph
platform, which is a high-performance, distributed graph database. With pyTigerGraph,
developers can:

• Authenticate to a TigerGraph instance and manage tokens.

• Perform CRUD operations on vertices and edges.
• Execute GSQL queries and procedures from Python.
• Integrate TigerGraph with various data science and machine learning workflows.
This document compiles official documentation, community tutorials, and AWS-specific
guidance for deploying and integrating pyTigerGraph on Amazon Web Services.

3. pyTigerGraph on AWS
3.1 Deployment on AWS (EC2, Containers, etc.)

• AWS Marketplace AMI

◦ Official TigerGraph image on AWS Marketplace (choose instance type, configure
VPC/security,
etc.): https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp/prodview-4dsr62sfyqx4g
◦ Getting Started on AWS (TigerGraph Docs): https://docs.tigergraph.com/ecosys/aws/
• Docker on AWS
◦ TigerGraph’s Docker image and
instructions: https://hub.docker.com/r/tigergraph/tigergraph
◦ Deploying containers on AWS ECS/EKS or directly on EC2 is a common approach for
dev environments.
• Backup & Restore
◦ TigerGraph docs on backups (store snapshots in S3 or use EBS snapshots in
AWS): https://docs.tigergraph.com/admin/backup-restore/
3.2 AWS Integrations (S3, DynamoDB, RDS, Lambda)

• Loading Data from S3

◦ S3 loader config: https://docs.tigergraph.com/loading/s3-loader/
• RDS or DynamoDB
◦ Typically integrated via ETL approach (e.g., export to CSV → load into TigerGraph)
or via Spark/Kafka connectors.
◦ No direct DynamoDB connector, but you can script data ingestion with pyTigerGraph
calls or S3 exports.
• AWS Lambda
◦ Use pyTigerGraph in your Lambda function (Python) to query TigerGraph via
REST. Requires packaging pyTigerGraph or using Lambda layers.
◦ Example: calling TigerGraph from Lambda for event-driven architectures (discussions
on the TigerGraph forum).
3.3 Security Best Practices

• IAM Roles & S3 Access

◦ Avoid hardcoding AWS keys; ideally use an instance role that grants S3 permissions.
◦ If the S3 loader doesn’t directly support IAM roles, consider STS or community
solutions (forum threads discuss workarounds).
• TigerGraph Access Control
◦ Leverage role-based access, LDAP/OAuth integration, and secure credentials.
• Network Security
◦ Restrict inbound ports on EC2. Use private subnets, VPC peering, or VPN to limit
public access.
◦ Enable SSL for TigerGraph’s REST endpoints (HTTPS).
• Data Encryption
◦ Use AWS-managed encryption on EBS volumes (KMS) and ensure TigerGraph is
 serving HTTPS.
• Patches & Updates
◦ Keep your TigerGraph version current. Use official release notes and contact
TigerGraph Support if needed.
3.4 Scaling & Performance Optimization

• Vertical Scaling
◦ Increase EC2 instance size if queries are slow or data is large. TigerGraph’s minimum
recommended is 4vCPUs/16GB RAM; scale to more CPU/RAM as needed.
• Horizontal Scaling
◦ TigerGraph supports multi-node clusters on AWS. Configure multiple EC2 instances in
the same VPC/subnet for distributed performance and high availability.
• Monitoring
◦ Use TigerGraph’s built-in metrics or REST calls for query performance.
◦ Use Amazon CloudWatch to track CPU, memory, disk I/O, and network usage.
• Performance Tuning
◦ Optimize your GSQL queries (filter early, design accumulators effectively, minimize
cross-node communication).
◦ Co-locate your TigerGraph instance with the rest of your stack for minimal network
latency.
3.5 Community & Support (AWS-Specific)

• TigerGraph Community Forum

◦ Find AWS-specific Q&A and share experiences: https://community.tigergraph.com/
• Case Studies & Webinars
◦ TigerGraph customers on AWS (fraud detection, supply chain).
◦ Graph + AI Summit sessions discussing large-scale TigerGraph on AWS.
• AWS Partner Resources
◦ TigerGraph is an AWS partner; look for official listings and blog posts on the AWS
Partner Network.
• Support
◦ TigerGraph offers enterprise support. For AWS-level issues (EC2 networking, security
groups), use AWS Support alongside TigerGraph’s docs.
