Best practices for local development with Neptune.
I would like to use a local Gremlin server with TinkerGraph for local development, and then deploy changes to Neptune later. However, there are several differences between TinkerGraph and Neptune that impact the portability of the code.
The most important one is probably the fact that in Tinkergraph vertex and edge ids are numeric, but they are strings in Neptune. Also, I think there are some differences in how properties are handled if the cardinality is a list.
What is the recommended workflow to minimize discrepancies between my local environment and Neptune?

There's a blog post here that contains some of the details on what properties you can change in TinkerGraph to get close: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/database/automated-testing-of-amazon-neptune-data-access-with-apache-tinkerpop-gremlin/
It's unlikely that you'll find anything that emulates things like the result cache, lookup cache, full-text-search, features, etc.
I would be curious to hear what the needs are for local dev.
