Milestone 1 ArangoDB 3.3: Datacenter to Datacenter Replication

Arangochair – a tool for listening to changes in ArangoDB

Estimated reading time: 2 minutes

The ArangoDB team gave me an opportunity to write a tutorial about arangochair. Arangochair is the first attempt to listen for changes in the database and execute actions like pushing a document to the client or execute an AQL query. Currently it is limited to single nodes.

This tutorial is loosely based on the example at baslr/arangochair-serversendevents-demo

arangochair is a Node.js module hosted on npm which make it fairly easy to install. Just runnpm install arangochair and its installed.
