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!

Last week we’ve published a benchmark post: Native multi-model can compete with pure document and graph databases. An article that attracted some great attention on HN / social media. Many asked us to add the multi-model database OrientDB to the benchmark post. We did and published Performance comparison between ArangoDB, MongoDB, Neo4j and OrientDB today.

We would appreciate and welcome your feedback.
