I don't think it is going to be easy. If you had a SQL db, moving to a different one would be hard enough. GraphDBs are quite unstandardized last time I looked. Migrating the data is one thing, changing a lot of application logic is going to be a challenge. Unless you used an ORM or some other layer? Also, how big is the data and how much of downtown can you take?

We are working for enterprise companies with a large dataset. If we are using a middle layer like gremlin, wouldn't it be much easier to migrate data from one graph db to another. We are expecting a downtime of around a week.

If you want to do it properly it will most likely take around 6 months.
