NoSQL Review: ArangoDB 3.2 Beta

ArangoDB is a hybrid, or multi-model, NoSQL Document and Graph store. This is becoming a common combination; it provides a lot of flexibility and power. I’ve been watching ArangoDB for three years since they started, so it’ll be interesting to see what has changed.

Vital Statistics Latest release: Version 3.2 Beta (June 13, 2017; current production version is 3.1).
Commercial backer: ArangoDB GmbH (span out of triAGENS GmbH, an IT Consultancy in Germany).

Twitter@arangodb
Licensing: Community core (Apache 2.0) with enterprise-supported version.
Sales model: Subscription model, including support for the community version, not just enterprise.
Release press release: Here Release full details: As above. What’s New

The biggest change is the use of Facebook’s RocksDB key-value store as a storage engine (I’ll review RocksDB separately in a future article). This is a huge change that will require load testing in your applications, as consistency and locking work differently than the previous mmfiles method.
