ArangoDB is a multi-purpose, open-source database with flexible data models for documents, graphs, and key-values. Build high performance applications using a convenient SQL-like query language or JavaScript/Ruby extensions. Use ACID transaction if you require them. Scale horizontally and vertically with a few mouse clicks.

Key features include:

  • Schema-free schemata let you combine the space efficiency of MySQL with the performance power of NoSQL
  • Use ArangoDB as an application server and fuse your application and database together for maximal throughput
  • JavaScript for all: no language zoo, you can use one language from your browser to your back-end
  • ArangoDB is multi-threaded - exploit the power of all your cores
  • Flexible data modelling: model your data as combination of key-value pairs, documents or graphs - perfect for social relations
  • Free index choice: use the correct index for your problem, be it a skip list or a fulltext search
  • Configurable durability: let the application decide if it needs more durability or more performance
  • No-nonsense storage: ArangoDB uses all of the power of modern storage hardware, like SSD and large caches
  • Powerful query language (AQL) to retrieve data
  • Transactions: run queries on multiple documents or collections with optional transactional consistency and isolation
  • Replication and Sharding: set up the database in a master-slave configuration or spread bigger datasets across multiple servers
  • It is open source (Apache Licence 2.0)

For more in-depth information

For the Impatient

For Mac OSX users: execute

brew install arangodb

For Windows and Linux users: use the installer script or distribution package from our download page.

If the package manager has not already started the ArangoDB server, use

unix> /path/to/sbin/arangod
2012-03-30T12:54:19Z [11794] INFO ArangoDB (version 2.x.y) is ready for business
2012-03-30T12:54:19Z [11794] INFO Have Fun!

/path/to/sbin is OS dependent. It will normally by either /usr/sbin or /user/local/sbin. Point your browser to

http://localhost:8529/

and select Tools / JS Shell. You can now use the Arango shell from within your browser. Alternative, it is available as command-line tool arangosh.

arangosh> db._create("hello");
arangosh> db.hello.save({ world: "earth" });

Congratulations! You have created your first collection called hello and your first document. To verify your achievements, type:

arangosh> db.hello.toArray();

More Information

Please check the Installation Manual for installation and compilation instructions.
