Tuesday, May 16th (6PM CEST/12PM ET/ 9AM PT) – Join the webinar here.

Today we are glad to announce the start of ArangoDB Online meetup. As our international open-source community is growing with every passing day, we keep getting requests from members around the world on doing a tech meet or a short demo on ArangoDB. Quite a few members have already taken the initiative of presenting at conferences and local meetups – big “thank you” for that! Adding to that effort, it’s high time that we all moved to that one place where we can all connect and everyone has a chance to give/ participate in a talk. And what better way is there to bring us all together than..

We have some amazing news today. Two brilliant minds are joining ArangoDB and our recently founded Advisory Council. Florian Leibert is CEO of Mesosphere and Luca Olivari former Executive at Oracle and MongoDB. Together with their rare expertise we can further sharpen our focus on cutting edge technologies and accelerate our growth.

Important Steps this Year

2016 is about to see its final days and things are calming down, so Frank and I thought about the year that lies behind us. It was a really exciting year for the whole ArangoDB project and for us as founders. In 2016 we saw our team doubling in size, ArangoDB 3 series got launched and we became part of the Target Partners family. Many other great things happened this year and with this post we want to take the chance to say “Thank you” to all our supporters.

For the whole team it was and is super motivating to see that practically the same growth we experienced..

ArangoDB Packaging

With ArangoDB 3.0 we reworked the build process to be based completely on cmake. The packaging was partly done using cpack (Windows, Mac), for the rest regular packaging scripts on the SuSE OBS were used. With ArangoDB 3.1 we reworked all packaging to be included in the ArangoDB Source code and use CPack. Users can now easily use that to build their own Packages from the source, as we do with Jenkins. Community member Artur Janke (@servusoft) contributed the new ubuntu snap packaging assisted by Michael Hall (@mhall119). Big thanks for that!

We are fortunate to live in an open-source world with a fairly large international community of users and contributors, which has been only growing more and more in the past year. (Big thanks for that, by the way 😉 ) Especially that we have recently received quite a few requests on how one can contribute to ArangoDB in an easy and quick way, we have decided that the time has come to get closer to our community and get even more involved.

A lot of great ideas came up during a chat with some of our long-term users on how we could improve on that front. Among all others, the most..

DC/OS provides ArangoDB with exactly the infrastructure it needs for implementing a modern distributed stateful service. Join this upcoming webinar to learn how DC/OS quickly and easily deploys ArangoDB to provide scaling and fault tolerance with automatic replacement of failed components. While DC/OS supplies the management of resources and hence allows multiple services to share a common infrastructure, ArangoDB provides a modern persistence layer with its multi-model, fault-tolerant datastore.

In this webinar, we will discuss:

• The trend from distributed, stateful..

The whole team at ArangoDB has been hacking “day-and-night” and the alpha version of the upcoming ArangoDB 3.0 release is available for testing! All our tests (290.000 lines of code) are green so it’s worth giving it a spin. We would really appreciate your feedback e.g. via our #feedback30 channel on Slack.

In the other news, our CTO Dr. Frank Celler attended the great Percona Live conference in Santa Clara and presented the latest developments of ArangoDB alongside many other database experts and big names.

ArangoDB Releases

The alpha version of the upcoming ArangoDB 3.0 release is..

Our upcoming release ArangoDB 2.8 is currently available as BETA , adding stunning new features to AQL and allowing to make use of array indexing. In our beta announcement we list all the details and explain how to use graph traversals in pure AQL. Please give it a try and help us finish the release sooner.

Also in the past two weeks, we’ve published outstanding cluster performance benchmarks, scaling ArangoDB to Gigabyte/s bandwidth on Mesosphere.

Starting with 8 database nodes, we scaled ArangoDB in a Mesos Cluster to 80 nodes – measuring throughput and latency for reads/writes and mixed..

In just a few days we will publish our release candidate of ArangoDB 2.7. As secure performance and ease of use are our key goals, we worked hard on some nice improvements like

• Index Buckets (Reducing loading time for collections and enable faster resizing)
• Throughput Enhancements (Real world tests showed 25-75% increase of throughput compared to 2.6)
• Enhancements for AQL like “return distinct”, “template query strings” or the brand new “AQL query result cache”

So stay tuned!
