Protocols Gremlin (WebSocket), HTTP/REST
Client traversals go over Gremlin/WebSocket to AGS (default port 8182). AGS's own docs also list a genuine second HTTP surface for index, cache and metadata management and most Gremlin call steps (only the bulk loader is excluded), reachable directly by API consumers rather than being internal-only Aerospike-DB traffic, so it meets the admin/graph-management carve-out for HTTP/REST. Pass B's single-protocol answer is too narrow.
-
Applications submit Gremlin traversals to AGS over WebSocket, enabling language-agnostic access to the graph while keeping application logic independent of storage and execution details.
