ArangoDB is a native NoSQL multi-model[1] database developed by triAGENS GmbH. In a book published in 2015, it was referred to as the most popular NoSQL database available that had an open source license.[2] It has also been referred to as a universal database.[3] Its creators refer to it as a "native multi-model"[4] database to indicate that it was designed specifically to allow key/value, document, and graph data to be stored together and queried with a common language.[5]

ArangoDB provides scalable, highly efficient queries when working with graph data.[6] The database uses JSON as a default storage format,[7] but internally it uses ArangoDB's VelocyPack - a fast and compact binary format for serialization and storage.[8] ArangoDB can natively store a nested JSON object as a data entry inside a collection. Therefore, there is no need to disassemble the resulting JSON objects. Thus, the stored data would simply inherit the tree structure of the XML data. [9]

ArangoDB works in a distributed cluster unlike some other existing graph databases and it is the first DBMS being certified for the Distributed Cluster Operating System (DC/OS).[10] DC/OS allows you to deploy ArangoDB on most existing ecosystems: Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Compute Engine and Microsoft Azure. Moreover, it provides a single click deployment for deployment on your own cluster.[11]

ArangoDB provides integration with native JavaScript microservices directly on top of the DBMS using the Foxx framework,[9] which is analogous to multithreaded NodeJS.[12]

The database has both AQL query language and provides GraphQL to write flexible native web services directly on top of the DBMS.[13]

History

Started in 2011, the database was originally released under the name AvocadoDB, but changed to ArangoDB in 2012.[14]
