We are thrilled to be attending one of Europe’s greatest events – JontheBeach (JOTB), an international rendezvous for developers and DevOps around Big Data technologies. No product talks just deep-tech topics presented by hand-picked speakers from Google, Apache Spark, RedHat, Stripe, Microsoft and many more.

We are absolutely thrilled to announce that one of the brightest and most respected minds in open-source software joins ArangoDBs Advisory Council. Hi, Ted and welcome to the ArangoDB family!For those who don’t know Ted Dunning yet, maybe a quick introduction and the reason why the whole team is so amazed that he supports the project. Ted Dunning is Chief Application Architect at MapR, holds a PhD in computer science and is committer as well as PMC member of the Apache Mahout, Zookeeper and Drill projects. Besides his 25 patents, and even more pending, he mentors multiple well-known Apache..

While working hard on the next release and hacking away new interesting things to include into our favourite database, we decided to take a short break to have some fun just in time for Easter. All teams gathered together to do some Easter eggs coloring, chocolate-eating and fun-having 🙂

ArangoDB bundles its regular API Documentation also in Swagger.IO API description format. You can browse and explore it interactively via the ArangoDB Webinterface.

At ArangoDB we’ve got many requests for running our database on Kubernetes. This makes complete sense since Kubernetes is a highly popular system for deploying, scaling and managing containerized applications.

Running any stateful application on Kubernetes is a bit more involved than running a stateless application, because of the storage requirements and potentially other requirements such as static network addresses. Running a database on Kubernetes combines all the challenges of running a stateful application, combined with a quest for optimal performance.

This article explains what is..

Cluster Administration course will take you all the way from concept and anatomy of the ArangoDB cluster to maintenance, resilience and troubleshooting of your distributed environment.

This article is about setting up active failover for ArangoDB-PHP, the PHP client driver for ArangoDB. It requires ArangoDB-PHP 3.3.2 or higher, and an ArangoDB server version of 3.3.4 or higher.

In the first part of this article we dived deep into what indexes are currently available in ArangoDB (3.2 and 3.3), also briefly looking at what improvements are coming with ArangoDB 3.4. Read Part I here.

In this Part II, we are going to focus on how to actually add indexes to a data model and speed up specific queries.

Adding indexes to the data model

The goal of adding an extra index to the data model is to speed up a certain query or even multiple queries.

One of the first things that should be done during development of AQL queries should be to review the output of the explain command...

Recently, we published the latest findings of our Performance Benchmark 2018 including Neo4j, PostgGreSQL, MongoDB, OrientDB and, of course, ArangoDB. We tested bread & butter tasks in a client/server setup for all databases like single read/write and aggregation, but also things like shortest path queries which are a speciality for graph databases. Our goal was and is to demonstrate that a native multi-model database like ArangoDB can at least compete with the leading single model databases on their home turf.
